Posted Friday, June 24, 2016 by ESPN

Alvaro Morata still has "offers from top clubs in the Premier League", according to his agent.

It was confirmed on Wednesday that Morata, 23, will return to Real Madrid from Juventus for a pre-determined fee.

But Juanma Lopez has hinted that his client's long-term future may not lie at the Bernabeu under Zinedine Zidane and added to speculation that the Spain international could be sold by Real for a profit.

"He still has offers from top clubs in the Premier League," Lopez told AS.

"We'll see, we have to talk to Zidane," Lopez continued. "But for the moment Morata is happy. Whether he'll stay or not, you have to ask Real Madrid.

"But as things stand he's a Madrid player from 1 July."

Morata is currently at the European Championship with Spain where he has scored three goals in as many games.

Ahead of his exit, the forward has written a goodbye message to Juventus fans, saying he will always look back fondly and gratefully on his time in Turin.

"Ciao to everybody. It is not easy for me to write this letter," Morata wrote on Instagram. "First of all I would like to thank everybody who believed in me and who placed their faith in me and treated me so well to ensure I was happy at Juventus and in Turin.

"Thanks to all the people who work at this amazing club which is Juventus. Kitmen, physiotherapists, doctors, security staff, cooks... Basically everybody who is part of Juve.

"Obviously thanks to all the Juventus fans around the world for the great support and unconditional affection you have always given me. Thanks to the coach for the faith placed in me and for making me become a better footballer. To the captains for taking care of me with so much dedication, and to my teammates for all the incredible days spent with them, because winning with them was spectacular.

"This club, with its history and all of you, has left a mark on me. Wherever I go, I will always feel Juventino and I will be able to say proudly and at the top of my voice that I wore a Juventus shirt and that I was a champion with this club.

"Thanks once again to everybody for allowing me to be part of this family. With all my affection, Alvaro Morata."
