Álvaro Morata had been the elected by part of the sportive direction and the own Xavi Hernández so that it served of antidote to the worrisome fault of goal of the FC Barcelona. However, they have been many the 'stones' that have achieved on the way, mainly with the Juventus. To this point, the club desists in his efforts and the folder remains filed.

'Sportive world' has informed that, according to sources "sabedoras of the sportive situation of the club", the Barça already has taken the decision of not going to by Morata in this market of wintry signings. The reasons are very simple. The parameters of the operation, that includes to the Athletic of Madrid (owner of his index card) and the Juventus (team where is yielded), do not convince to the Barcelona.

And it is that the picture 'colchonero' has the intention to earn the mount corresponding to the option of purchase that has the 'Vecchia Signora', of 40 million euros. In the Barça understand, always according to the before quoted source, that do not have to do a so high investment in a footballer that is not the 'plan To' of the team to reinforce his forward on a long-term basis, explaining that they expect to reserve "the money for another operation that satisfy so much to the technical body as to the sportive area of the club".

However, the position of the Athletic of Madrid has not been the only that has put an end to the operation, but also the one of the Juventus of Turín, remembering that the Italian team, although it does not have intention to pay the 40 'kilos' of the option of purchase of the forward, will not leave him leave in this -complicated- point of the season but have a replacement of quality.

The 'Vecchia Signora' was tanteando several options, as it remembers 'MD', but did not achieve to direct some operation. Mauro Icardi was the main candidate, but while the Juve wanted a cession to the end of season, the Paris Saint-Germain demanded a purchase in winter. Vlahovic, of the Fiorentina, also sounded like one of the alternatives of the 'bianconeri'.

The Barça, to finish the season 'with what has'

Descartada The option of Morata, the FC Barcelona will finish the season 2021-2022 with the players that there is at present in the staff. If the injuries or physical problems allow it, Xavi Hernández will be able to have four players that can play as '9': Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, Memphis Depay, Martin Braithwaite, and Luuk of Jong, although these last are the only that they are leading natural centres. Options do not are missing and the egarense will have to look for the form that it detain the worrisome fault of goal of the team.

The good news is that, for example, Ansu Fati returned of an injury of two months and did it with goal. The canterano marked against the Real Madrid and has a special idyll with marking, by what can be a very important resource. Of Jong, by his part, has a surprising series of three goals in three parties and Memphis is a player that can contribute a lot. No by at all it keeps on being the maximum artilleryman culé. Martin Braithwaite and Ferran, finally, can be the surprise and key of the Barcelona.
