Juventus see Luis Muriel as an alternative to Atletico Madridโ€™s Alvaro Morata

Juventus are interested in making a move for a striker this summer. Atletico Madridโ€™s Alvaro Morata and Atalantaโ€™s Luis Muriel are understood to have attained interest from the Old Lady.

According to journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Luis Muriel is more than a transfer idea for Juventus in this summer transfer window. Even though Massimiliano Allegri is pushing the Bianconeri management for the signing of Morata, Muriel is considered a suitable alternative to the Spaniard.

The report claims that Juve want to ensure Morataโ€™s return for โ‚ฌ13-โ‚ฌ15 million. Nevertheless, it is the same valuation that La Dea are asking for the Colombian.

As reported previously, Atalanta are plotting a move for RB Leipzig star Ademola Lookman amid this summer transfer window. After staying two seasons on loan at Juventus, Morata returned to Atleti, vacating a position in the squad.

The Bianconeri are willing to sign a deputy for Duลกan Vlahoviฤ‡. It has been reiterated time and again that their first choice remains Morata.

But should they fail to get him on board due to Atletiโ€™s intent on keeping hold of the striker, Juventus are open to visiting the Muriel path.
