Barcelona's interest in signing Alvaro Morata following Xavi's desire to sign the striker has been in the transfer news headlines past few days, but Juventus do not intend to let the Spanish striker leave during the January window.
This is Massimiliano Allegri's intent, he is counting on Morata for the second half of the season. There are two reasons: the striker is training well under his manager's eyes, and the alternatives to replace him do not convince Allegri.
A change just for change's sake isn't considered a wise move on top of taking a chance of lowering the level of the squad according to the bianconeri's manager. This is why the story between Juventus and Morata hasn't reached its conslusion quite yet.
Juventus aren't expected to make changes in their front line during the January window, the odds of further pursuing Icardi are low since the bianconeri don't want to commit to a long term and very high salary, the real target for June is Sassuolo striker Scamacca.
