"It all depends on his own plans and those of the club. We have a pretty clear idea of who stays and who leaves the team. He is a very important player for us. He has skills that no one else in the team has. Alvaro adds depth and height to the pitch and he is very intelligent.

We hope he stays with us. Hopefully, we can help him get back to his goal-scoring streak. He scored more goals for us than for Juventus. The team needs him," Simeone was quoted as saying by AS.

It is worth noting that Roma are interested in Morata's services and continue to negotiate with Madrid over the forward's transfer.
