Juventus GM Beppe Marotta is adamant Alvaro Morata wants to stay.

The striker's contract carries a Real Madrid buy-back option.

“Some situations, such as that of Morata, do not depend on us," director Marotta told Mediaset Premium.

“We want to keep the lad and have to discuss it with Real Madrid. His destiny also depends on Real Madrid's, as they are currently active in the Liga and Champions League.

“The player improved and grew a great deal with us, while he feels bonded to our club colours. He wants to stay with Juventus, but obviously Real Madrid have everything needed to change his mind."
