There are suggestions in Spain that Luis Suarez might not be leaving Barcelona after all, meaning Juventus must turn to a different target.

Suarez was told in a 90-second telephone call with new coach Ronald Koeman that he was not part of their plans for this season.

As his contract is due to expire in June 2021, he was asked to terminate it early by mutual consent.

Those negotiations have dragged on and seem no closer to a resolution, quite the opposite.

Atletico Madrid have rejected a €50m proposal from Juventus for Alvaro Morata, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.

It’s suggested the offer was made on the request of new coach Andrea Pirlo, who played alongside the striker in Turin in the 2014-15 season.

There have been growing reports that Morata is frustrated in Madrid and has asked coach Diego Simeone to let him leave this summer.

However, Atleti do not want to sell, having just purchased the forward from Chelsea for a total of €63m.

Juventus are having difficulty finding a buyer for Douglas Costa, with reports his only firm proposals are from China and Qatar.

The 30-year-old is not part of the Bianconeri’s plans and they had hoped to raise precious funds with his sale this summer.

However, Calciomercato.com note that the offers expected from Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich have either not materialised, or are considerably lower than the €50m asking price.

While Luis Suarez is heading to Juventus, he could be joined by Alvaro Morata, who Spanish and Italian reports claim has asked to leave Atletico Madrid.

Suarez is in advanced negotiations with Barcelona to terminate his contract by mutual consent, but could simply be sold for a nominal fee of circa €1.5m, similar to the Ivan Rakitic move to Sevilla.

He might not be the only forward coming to Juve from La Liga, because Cuatro.com and the Corriere dello Sport both claim that Morata could make a return to Turin.
