It was posted here weeks back, English Premier League Clubs Arsenal FC & Tottenham Hotspurs have Real Madrid young U-21 Spanish International forward Alvaro Morata on their list of "Winter Market 2014" incorporations. The Spanish Football Club via the voice of its Coach Carlo Ancelotti has let known that the player will stay, however Arsenal through Manager/Coach Arsene Wenger has been heavily insisting especially after Arsenal forward Walcott injured himself seriously & has solicited the loan of the player.
According the news coming out of England - "International Business Times" - today the representative of Morata ( Juanma Lopez ) is in London to sit down with Directives of Tottenham & Arsenal to hear their views. The idea is to then fly back to Madrid & put on the table the loan offers & see if the player decides to take on the "English Adventure".
The truth is that Alvaro Morata has been recently eclipsed by another youngster & Spanish U-21 International in Jese, who has found the confidence of his Coach & technical staff & is getting playing time. The player has taken advantage of his opportunities & is assisting with goals & with his own, the latest yesterday in the Spanish Cup match against Osasuna.
With starting forward Karim Benzema & Jese in front of Morata, a loan to another Club that gives the youngster playing time maybe the best option to keep the player evolving & growing. However Coach Ancelotti may be hesitant to let the young player go in case Benzema suffers an injury or suspension which will leave the "Striker" position thin. Plus, in today´s Press Conference Coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed that Morata himself has asked Real Madrid to stay.
True or not, the issue will be hot in coming weeks & the player ( & Club ) will have to make difficult decisions. No one doubts that a Football Player - especially a young promise - needs to play in order to develop & grow. Morata under that current conditions & circumstances is being "blocked" out & will keep the bench warm.
The negotiations continue between Tottenham Hotspurs & Real Madrid in order to find a "middle ground" for the transfer of Welsh International & Hotspurs player Gareth Bale. Tough meetings were options are being put on the table & countered with alternatives.
Real Madrid wishes to reduce the written about asked transfer figures of 145M€, latter 115M€ ...etc with the inclusion of player/s. The price of around 90-100M€ would be acceptable & the Spanish Club wants to include Coentrao & / or Angel Di Maria.
However, Tottenham Hotspurs wants young Spanish U-21 International Alvaro Morata, the English Club insists. There are a few reasons like firstly, Tottenham & its President Levy enjoy betting on young talent & Football promises to latter sell for two, three or four times their original buying price. Secondly, Levy wants to win back some pride & give Real Madrid a "kick in the ankles" by taking away their "jewel".
This last desire from the English is a real problem for Madrid. The youngster beforehand will be very reluctant to enter in the "Bale Operation", this could be a serious hurdle in the negotiations.
The solution may therefore pass by paying the record amounts that Tottenham desires, something President Florentino Perez would want to avoid but may have to swallow if Morata decides to not move, Tottenham rejects alternative players & if Real Madrid wishes to have this season Gareth Bale.
