But Morata has revealed he hopes to retire at Getafe – where he spent just ONE season as a youth team player.
The Spaniard started his youth career at Atletico Madrid in 2005, before moving to Getafe for the 2007-08 season.
Morata then spent two years in rivals Real Madrid’s youth ranks before breaking into their first team.
In a merry-go-round of a career, he then moved to Juventus, before heading back to Real, then signing for Chelsea.
The 33-cap Spain star then headed back to Atletico before joining Juventus again – where he now plays, on loan from Los Rojiblancos.
Despite his obvious attachment to Atletico, Real and Juve, Morata has revealed his heart lies with Getafe.
Morata told Cadena Cope: “I would like the last shirt I wear to be Getafe.
“I have a very good relationship with the president and with the people there.

“I think that thanks to them I am the player that I am.”
Morata is under contract at Atletico Madrid until the end of the 2022-23 season.
At that time, the Spaniard will be approaching 31 years old and could be tempted to have one more stint at a European giant.
However, it could be he gives Getafe a good few years at the back-end of his career as a thank you for helping him as as youngster.
