A man who has spent time on both sides of the Madrid divide has advised the want-away Chelsea striker against a switch to Wanda Metropolitano
Alvaro Morata would be wrong to leave
Chelsea for
Atletico Madrid, according to former midfielder Bernd Schuster.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri confirmed this week that Morata informed the club last month that he wanted to leave, just 18 months on from his £60 million ($78m) arrival from
Real Madrid.
Atletico have been tipped to sign the
Spain international, but Schuster, twice a
Copa del Rey winner in three years at the club, thinks such a move would be unwise.
Indeed, the former Madrid player and head coach thinks Morata should have stayed at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"I'm surprised by Morata's arrival at Atleti," he told
Onda Cero. "I don't know if they're the team for him. I think Morata was wrong to leave Madrid. He didn't have patience."
Marcelo, whose future has been the subject of recent speculation, set up Ramos to score Madrid's crucial third goal after having failed to track Antony Lozano for
Girona's seventh-minute opener.
Schuster accused Marcelo this week of getting "fat easily" when he does not play, but he praised the
Brazil international's impact.
"Bringing in Marcelo was very positive, although he is still not at 100 per cent, which showed in Girona's first goal," he said. "But you have to put him in. He has to play. He's an indisputable first-choice."
"What they miss at Madrid is a player who gets 45-50 goals," he added.
