Zinedine Zidane pleased with Alvaro Morata return

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane hints that Alvaro Morata is in his plans for the upcoming season despite reports that he will be sold this summer.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said that he is "happy" to have Alvaro Morata back at the club.

Madrid exercised a buy-back clause in the striker's contract at Juventus, returning him to the Bernabeu for £25m.

Reports have claimed that Real are planning to sell Morata on for a significantly increased price, but Zidane hinted that the Spain international is in his plans.

"He is another member of this team. He's back and I'm happy to have him," he told reporters.

"He is an academy product, who knows what Real Madrid is and truthfully we are, and me above all, happy to have him with us. Later we'll see...

"We have a large squad and all the players will be important. Alvaro will be one more of the team."

Morata scored 11 goals in 52 appearances during his first spell at Madrid.
