MADRID: Real Madrid says Spain forward Alvaro Morata will rejoin the team for the upcoming season.

The Spanish club says it has informed Juventus that it will use its option to bring the player back to Madrid.

The club said on Tuesday that Morata "will join up with the first team for preseason training under the command of Zinedine Zidane."

Real Madrid will reportedly pay 30 million euros to buy back the forward from the Italian club. It originally sold him for nearly 22 million euros in 2014.
