Juventus striker Alvaro Morata, who is on the radar of a number of Premier League sides, has said he wants his future resolved as soon as possible.

Real Madrid have a buy-back clause of €30m (£23.6m) for the Spain international - which it is understood they are likely to trigger.

However, the Bernabeu club could choose to buy back Morata and then immediately sell the 23-year-old at a profit. Considering his age and ability, his market value is far in excess of the £23.6m it would cost to repurchase the player from Juventus.

Among those who would be interested in signing Morata are a host of Premier League sides, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all linked with the player.

Morata says he is happy in Turin but recognises he may have to move. The six-times capped Spain international simply wants the situation resolved.

“I can’t wait for the question of the re-purchase to be resolved. I’m happy in Turin, but I want to be able to know where I should buy a house. I want to know as soon as possible where I’ll be," Morata said to Cadena Cope.

“I’m happy at Juventus, but returning to Madrid is a real possibility because there’s a contract, it was all already written. I just want all of this to be resolved.”
