Manchester United has received a major boost in their reported chase for Alvaro Morata as Real Madrid had postponed their meeting with Juventus.

Real Madrid has a buy back clause on Alvaro Morata’s contract that give the Spanish giants the right to first refusal for the player. Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez was supposed to meet Juventus directors yesterday, but as per reports from Tuttosport and Express Sport, the meeting has been postponed with the next date not yet mentioned. This means the Spanish club may not be willing to take the risk of buying Morata for £23 million and attempt to sell him for a higher price.

This is a major boost for Manchester United as the Old Trafford unit is looking to bolster their attack and Morata has been identified as one of the shortlisted candidates. The buy back clause the Real Madrid has on Morata expires on 15 July 2016 and if Real does not make an offer on or before 30 June 2016, Juventus can discuss Morata sale with other clubs without informing Real Madrid.
