Alvaro Morata: 'I had no relationship with Carlo Ancelotti'

Juventus forward Alvaro Morata claims that he had a poor relationship with Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti at the Bernabeu last season.

Spanish forward Alvaro Morata has claimed that he 'had no relationship' with Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti during his time at the Bernabeu.

The 22-year-old scored nine times in 34 games for Real Madrid last season, but was deemed surplus to requirements in the summer and consequently moved to Juventus.

Real Madrid have reportedly retained a buy-back option for the striker, but Morata has hinted that he would not return while Ancelotti is still in charge of first-team affairs.

"I still don't understand why I went from playing well to being left in the stands at Real Madrid. I didn't demand to be a starter, but I did expect to be treated differently. My relationship with Ancelotti was virtually non-existent. [Juventus boss Massimiliano] Allegri keeps a very close eye on me, for better or for worse," Morata told Onda Cero.

Morata has scored 11 times in 32 games for Juve this season.
