Álvaro
Morata has reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea and insisted he is happy at the
club after appearing to suggest in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sportthat he
pines for Italy and finds life in London “too much stress”.
The striker hinted over the weekend at being unsettled, his
attempts to demonstrate a desire to make a success of life at Chelsea led to the forward ending his pre-match press
conference at the Olympic Stadium, where his team take on Roma on Tuesday, by
claiming he would be willing to sign longer terms at the club.
“I
want to say again that we had a problem of understanding in this interview,”
said Morata, who was born in Madrid and has had two spells at Real.
“If Chelsea proposed me 10 years I’d probably
sign that too. I’m happy with this club, in this city, with everything in
London. I really like London and probably, if I make good and improve, probably
I can stay here more than five years. But I need to score many goals otherwise
Chelsea will buy another player. It’s normal.
“We have a communication problem with this
interview. I wanted to say, probably in the future when I finish in my career,
I won’t live in London. But now, at the moment, I’m very happy in London and
enjoy living in London with my wife. In the future, when I need to bring my
child to school, or when I finish my career, I’d prefer to come back to my
country. It’s normal. I prefer the place I was born. But now I’m very happy.
When I say it’s a stressful city, I’m only talking about the traffic and that
there are a lot of people there. But it’s an incredible city with many
religions and many kinds of different people, so I really enjoy London.”
