Roma apparently still have interest in signing Atletico Madrid Stricker Alvaro Morata despite a failed summer move for the Spaniard. The Giallorossi were left short of attacking options due to a serious injury to Tammy Abraham,who tore his anterior cruciate ligament during the final weekend of the 2022- 2023 serie A season.
Abraham will spend at least another few months recovering from his devastating injury, which left Jose Mourinho with Andrea Belotti as his only senior Stricker for the pre season period. The former Torino man did not find the back of the net once in the Italian top flight last season, but he already has two goals and two assists from four games this term,while Paulo Dybala can also operate in a number nine role.
Roma eventually brokered a deal to sign Chelsea strickSt named Romelu Lukaku on a season long loan,as well as bringing in Sardar Azmoun on a temporary deal from Bayer Leverkusen,but both are set to rejoin their parent clubs next summer.
As a result,Corriere Hello claims that the Europa league finalists still have Morata on their radar, even though the stricker ruled out a move to Rome over the summer,albei a while expressing his admiration for Mourinho. "I m working and I'm very happy to be in Mexico with the team.I want to improve, I'm doing it in PR season. But we players don't control the transfer market,"Morata told Mexican outlet TUDN.
I'm here to enjoy Mexico, to work with the team. At the moment they're not an option, they're not in my head. He Mourinho is a great coach,he was the one who gave me the opportunity to play my first professional match. I'm very grateful to him and I wish him the best." The 30 year old has made a bright start to the 2023-2024 La Ligament season with three gaols from four appearances for Los Rojiblancos, but his contract expires at the end of the season.
Despite closing the door on a transfer to Roma this summer, the report adds that Morata would be open to a future reunion with Mourinho, and the strickers agents recently met with Roma director named Tiago Pinto to discuss a possible switch.
