Juventus striker Morata to link up with Mourinho or Conte at Man Utd or Chelsea

Alvaro Morata reportedly wants to reunite with one of his former bosses in England.

According to Spanish publication AS, the Spanish striker is eager to play under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United or Antonio Conte at Chelsea.

Italian champions Juventus could lose Morata to former club Real Madrid for £23million before the Spanish giants sell him for around £45m as part of their buy-back option for the 23-year-old.

A number of clubs, including Arsenal and PSG, are said to be interested in Morata but the Spain international reportedly wants to link up with his old Real manager Mourinho at Old Trafford or with Conte, who signed him at Juventus in 2014 before leaving for the Italy job, at Stamford Bridge.

United remain keen on Zlatan Ibrahimovic which could force Morata to Chelsea if the Red Devils happen to be successful in their pursuit of the Swedish superstar.
