The Juventus striker has advocated for more conversations around mental health in football after revealing his struggles in the Premier League.

Alvaro Morata has admitted he “came close” to suffering from depression during his difficult season-and-a-half spell at Chelsea.

Chelsea paid a then club-record £58 million ($79m) to sign Morata from Real Madrid in 2017, but the striker did not live up to expectations despite a return of 24 goals from 72 games.

Morata left Chelsea for Atletico Madrid in January 2019, before joining former club Juventus prior to the current campaign.
