Juventus have completed the signing of striker Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid.

Morata has penned a five-year deal in Turin today after passing a medical with the Italian champions.



The young Spanish striker has cost the Bianconeri a fee of €20m, though Real Madrid will have the right to buy him back over the next two years, for €30m.

Morata has found regular first team football hard to come by at Real Madrid, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale blocking his path.
 


He will now hope to take another step forward in his development with Juventus, while he also becomes new coach Massimiliano Allegri's first signing.
