Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata trusts that it is unavoidable and he will play for Antonio Conte one day in the midst of reports Chelsea are quick to draw him to Stamford Bridge.
Conte endeavored to sign the Spain worldwide ahead of the 2016-17 battle, however Madrid declined to offer the assailant having just barely re-marked him from Juventus.
The 24-year-old has been attempting to break into the beginning XI at the Santiago Bernabeu, however, with head coach Zinedine Zidane leaning toward Karim Benzema in advance.
“Various Premier League coaches called to tell me to play for them. I said yes, I would like to, that if I had to leave I would almost certainly go to London, but that I did not know what Madrid would do,” Morata said.
“I knew they would bring me back, but I did not know if it was to keep me or sell me. Madrid said they did not want to sell, so here I am. I am very happy at Madrid and they support me, but if an offer like that came again and they want to sell, I should not close doors. I loved Italy, but if one day I have to leave, I am sure it will be to the Premier League.
“I spoke directly to [Tottenham boss] Mauricio Pochettino and Antonio Conte, although the norm is clubs call my dad or agent. I remember talking to my dad then and him saying that Conte was going to win the league with Chelsea.
“Conte is the manager who most ‘bet’ on me, without even ever having had me in his team. I am very conscious of that: he bet on me for Juventus, but left before I arrived; then he wanted me at Chelsea come what may. He knows me better than I could imagine, I am sure, and that is important: it motivates you to work hard, train well.
“I feel indebted to him because he is the coach that most trusted in me, most wanted me, who made me feel I could perform at the highest level. And yet I have never had the fortune to actually work with him. I am sure sooner or later I will.
“The future excites me, whether that is Madrid or somewhere else. I still have to learn, improve. I can do a lot but I need to play more and for someone to really back me. Either I take off or I end up in a position of comfort, playing games occasionally”.
Morata’s circumstance at Madrid has not gone unnoticed somewhere else and late reports recommend Chelsea are prepared to make another move for the striker come June and he is savoring the possibility of conceivably connecting up with Conte.
