“I was sad to leave Juventus, but this is football,” Morata told Mediaset Premium.
“Juve is my second home and I want them to win always, except when they are playing against Real Madrid. They wanted me here in Madrid and I am a professional.
“I was at the best club in Italy with Juventus.”
There were reports that Napoli had approached Morata and Real Madrid after Gonzalo Higuain joined Juve for €90m.
“It’s true, Napoli spoke to the agent who is representing me, but I could never go there out of respect for Juve, which is my second home.”
