Spanish footballer Álvaro Morata has expressed his inclination to leave Spain due to the harsh criticism he faces in his home country. In a recent interview with El Larguero, Morata revealed that the constant scrutiny has even confused his children, stating, “The easier way for me is to leave Spain and go play abroad. Even my kids do not understand all the criticism I suffer here.”
Uncertain Future at Atlético Madrid
Morata, who currently plays as a striker for Atlético Madrid under coach Diego Simeone, also discussed his uncertain future with the club. Despite having no personal issues with Simeone, Morata is unsure about his position in the team’s long-term plans. He mentioned, “I have zero problems with Simeone. But I don’t know if I’m in his plans, in the club’s plans…”
Context Within Atlético Madrid
The relationship between Morata and Simeone appears professionally stable, as there have been no public disputes reported. Simeone, known for his commitment to the club’s growth and his recent praise of young talents, has not made any specific comments regarding Morata’s role in the team. This lack of clarity adds to the striker’s considerations about his future career moves.
As Morata contemplates a potential move away from Spain, it remains to be seen how this will affect his current standing with Atlético Madrid and where his professional journey will take him next.
