According to the news of the "Daily Sports", In order to prevent the opportunity to join Barca from slipping away, Morata is willing to renew his contract with Atletico Madrid for one year and then join Barca on loan for a year and a half.
It is reported that Barca originally only hoped to loan Morata for half a year, but Atletico only accepted a six-month loan + 30 million euros mandatory buyout clause to let Morata go, because the player's contract will expire in June 2023, And atletico do not want Morata to enter the contract year after the return of loan, and finally leave the team in free. For Barca, they will spend a lot of money in June to sign a top striker, so they don't want to bear the 30 million euro buyout fee.
Seeing the transfer deadlock, Morata tried to find a solution through his agent. It is reported that Morata hopes to renew his contract with Atletico Madrid for one year, and then join Barca on loan for a year and a half, so that Atletico also has more time to carry out transfer operations.
The Daily Sport said Barca thought it was a satisfactory solution, as Morata was not in Simeone's plans and Morata only wanted to continue his career at Camp Nou.
