Matteo Moretto Transfer Column: Alvaro Morata, Mats Wieffer, Samu Omorodion, Sergi Roberto and Rafa Marin
Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest business dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano.
To this day I do not know that Alvaro Morata is on the list of Roma, who are looking for a first-choice striker. If Morata returns to Italy, he would give absolute priority to JuventusBut at this moment there is still nothing concrete between the two parties, for two reasons: Morata is focused on the Euro, and Juventus is focused on other offers at the moment.
In addition, Atletico demand that his release clause of 15 million euros be paid if he has to leave. Every summer there is a lot of talk about the future of Morata, but I recommend calm on this matter today, after the Euro we will understand things better. It must be remembered that Diego Simeone appreciates Morata very much.
Milan are very fond of Feyenoord midfielder Mats Wieffer. The Rossoneri are following him closely as an option to strengthen the midfield. To date there have been no contacts with Feyenoord, only between Milan and the player's camp, he is open to a new experience to continue to grow professionally.
The price that would satisfy everyone is about 25 million euros. It remains to be seen whether Serbian teenager Jan-Carlo Simic, who like Feyenoord, could be part of the deal. As we said before, Atletico Madrid were in contact with him in January.
The problem between Barcelona and Sergi Roberto is that the club has told him that he will have to wait until almost the end of August to see if they can register or not. The salary situation is what keeps him away from Barcelona.
Today – as we have said many times – he has a foot and a half outside Barcelona. Girona, Valencia and Seville have tested the waters in recent days, but also Porto. I think there will also be more offers from Major League Soccer teams in the United States or maybe from Saudi Arabia, although today I have no information about any offers.
Real Madrid continue to assess their options at the back. Much will depend on whether – financially – the club can meet Lille's demands for young centre-back Leny Yoro, who Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in. no definitive choice regarding the return loan Rafa Marinbut it is true that many clubs have asked about him recently.
Napoli is among the interested clubs, for now, there has been no more than an inquiry. If he leaves Real Madrid, Napoli will be in a position to move for him. There is a lot of talk about Marin's future, but Nacho Fernandez still has to sort out his future. Regarding his situation, and the links to Al Ittihad, I can say that it is not done yet, there are still things to be resolved for an agreement, and the player has not yet given the green light.
Atletico Madrid do not want to sell, and Samu at the moment is not thinking about anything other than doing the pre-season with Atletico and being noticed by Cholo Simeone. Atletico that has great potential and that's why they rejected high offers for him.
West Ham offered almost €40m including variables, and cost just €6m last summer. Rome like him, but at the moment it is not viable. I repeat, for the moment Atlético has no intention of selling him. Simeone wants to watch him during the pre-season.
