In the final moments of the 2020 summer window, Juventus loaned old acquaintance Morata from Atletico Madrid to solve the problem of insufficient manpower in his front line, and now Morata's loan contract is about to expire.
Juve have paid Morata a $20 million loan fee in two years, and they only need to pay another €30 million to officially buy out the striker. But it's clear that Juve has other plans.
After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the veteran giants of Serie A lost one of the most stable and powerful firepower output points, and unfortunately they also welcomed the return of the "conservative master" Allegri, and the team's offensive ability reached an unprecedented bottom point.
Dybala, who has been put back at the heart of the game, is also not capable enough to lead the team forward. Luckily, they stumbled upon a talented winger, Chiesa Jr., who saved Juve a little lower after that.
Unfortunately, as a more traditional winger, The Younger Chieza's ability is not enough to raise Juve's ceiling, he can be a solid and practical part, but not the core of the qualitative change.
Without money, Juve chose another approach, creating a complete tactical system where every position is a reliable part, abandoning the dazzling core players and trying to gradually regain their form and start rebuilding by keeping the team as a whole. At this time, Martial entered their field of vision.
To be honest, of the 30 million strikers that can be bought, there is really no one who can be better than Morata, but why do Juve insist on choosing Anthony Martial?
Morata is a running forward who can occasionally participate in some positional attacks, but in general prefers sprint attacks such as wide-open defensive counterattacks, and what is different about Martial?
The French can complete the counterattack sprint, but also participate in a small range of pass control and position warfare. Crucially, Martial also has the skills to pull crosses and back fulcrums, although they are not top-notch, but in terms of the overall value of the players, such a well-rounded center forward is indeed a good rebuilding choice.
Although martial arts or price alone is very suitable, but we really can not forget, and Lukaku, Martial is also a kind of special emotional giant baby player, his competitive state is unstable, there are many chores off the field, if you want to sign him, the first thing to consider is whether you can control this player well, let him focus on the football field.
Being able to win a striker of Morata's level with 30 million is indeed a great deal, not to mention an old acquaintance, why risk signing a time bomb like Martial?
