Juventus offer Morata as part of James Rodriguez pursuit

Juventus are reportedly considering using Alvaro Morata as bait in their quest to sign Real Madrid's James Rodriguez.

The Colombian seems to be on his way out of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and a few clubs, including Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain, have shown their interest in the Madrid player.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport Juve are prepared to offer the Madrid club both Morata and €47 million in order to bring James to Italy.

The Italian club are aware of interest in Spanish striker Morata and are now hoping to be able to use him as a bargaining chip in order to sign the Colombian forward.

Real Madrid on the other hand are said to have already used their €30m buy-back clause inserted when selling the Spanish striker to Juve in 2013, with the aim of immediately offloading him for a profit.

However, James leaving may see Los Blancos opt to keep Morata, despite big money bids expected to land from clubs across Europe.

Chelsea have been monitoring the Bianconeri forward for a while, with PSG, Arsenal, Leicester City, Napoli, just some of the names linked with Morata.
