02 March 2015 12:15

It's looking like the former Real Madrid striker could be heading to the Premier League in the summer after it was revealed that the Turin club were looking at Palermo forward Paulo Dybala to partner Carlos Tevez in attack.

The report in the Express claims that the player has alerted his agent that should a first-team role with the Serie A giants look in doubt then a move to a new club would be the result in the summer.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both keen on bringing the player to the Premier League according to reports in Spain as well as interest from Real Madrid for a return to the Bernabeu. It is understood that Brendan Rodgers or Arsene Wenger would need to find more than the £14.5m that Juventus paid Real Madrid last July.

With continued question marks over the future of Karim Benzema it is suggested in the report that the player could opt for a return to Madrid with the 22-year-old offering a long-term solution.

The striker has made 19 appearances for Juventus and scored 6 goals since joining in 2014. At Real Madrid where Morata developed from a youth in 2008 he made 37 senior appearances between 2010 and 2014, scoring 10 league goals.
