Alvaro Morata to Barcelona to go through on one condition

Alvaro Morata can put an end to his miserable spell in the Premier League and secure a move to Barcelona if he is willing to become a squad player, according to Alejandro Moreno of ESPN FC (via Daily Star).

The ESPN pundit also claims that Denis Suarez will be joining Chelsea. Meanwhile, Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba has said that Morata will be welcome at the Camp Nou.

Alba said,

"Morata is a player that I appreciate a lot, he has been a top player for many years," he said on Thursday.

"At the end, it's the club's [decision] if they want to sign him or not, as with any other player.

"If the rumours are true, he would be very welcome, as all the new players [are]."

Speaking about Morata's potential move to Barcelona, Moreno said,

"Barcelona would be taking him at a discount.

"And it would have to be under his knowledge and acceptance of the fact that he’s going to be what he was at Real Madrid and what he was at Juventus, which is a second-choice striker.

“Maybe that’s his best role. I still think this is a miss.”
