Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is in Spain, precisely Madrid, where he is expected to undergo his medical today before completing his move to the Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
The former Real Madrid star hit the Spanish Capital last night and he was welcomed by the press who asked him some series of questions concerning his stay at Stamford Bridge and how he feels about the future.
When asked about his uninspiring spell at Stamford Bridge, Morata revealed his happiness to have featured for such a big club even if things didn’t go well for him.
Irrespective of the setbacks — injuries and loss of form — he encountered under Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri, the 26-year-old said he’s proud of the past.
“The past is the past and cannot be changed. But I am proud of my past.” Morata admitted.
As for his future expectations with Atletico Madrid, Morata revealed his eagerness to start working with Diego Simeone. He confessed his readiness to help the Wanda Metropolitano outfits achieve a great feat this season.
“I cannot wait until everything is over, everything starts and I can train with my teammates,” he said to reporters
Should everything go on as planned, the former Juventus striker will officially become Atletico’s newest arrival on Monday.
He should be ready for criticism from Real Madrid fans when Atletico come up against his former employers Real Madrid later in the campaign.
It is said that the loan move could be made permanent by the end of the campaign if Morata performs up to his billings during his six-month stay under the Argentine manager.
