Alvaro Morata has revealed Real Madrid Coach Carlo Ancelotti wished him good luck on his move to Juventus, which has today been completed.
Morata is to wear the No.9 shirt for the Serie A champions and has moved for a reported €20m, although Madrid have the option to re-sign the striker within the next two years.
“I came to this club because it is one of the most historically great in Europe and the world, without doubt the best in Italy,” Morata has been quoted as saying.
“I chose Juventus because they chose me and showed interest for such a long time. I can work well here, it’s a magnificent club and I can do well.
“Carlo Ancelotti wished me all the best and said I am going to a great city. He said to enjoy Italy and especially the Italian food!”
Morata’s move to Turin was in doubt when Antonio Conte resigned earlier this week, but he revealed that a conversation with the new Coach, Max Allegri, has given him confidence.
“I spoke to Allegri today and I am very eager to start work,” Morata added.
“I had known I wanted to come to Juventus for a long time. The club always confirmed its interest in me and the important thing is that I have the confidence of the people here.
“I had interest from England and other countries, but I had my heart set on Juventus and Serie A is without doubt one of the best Leagues in the world.
“I know it will be very tough, but I have prepared to face it and am ready to do my best.”
