C.Ancelotti's message to clubs interested in acquiring A.Morata: he is not for sale © EuroFootball.com

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti denied in the press the rumors about Alvaro Morata and stated that he is not for sale.

In recent times, there have been rumors that London's Arsenal will try to buy or loan the promising forward, and Lisbon's Benfica is also interested in the Spaniard.

"I haven't spoken with Morata about a possible transfer because there have been no offers for this player," the manager said at a press conference.

"If any club tries to buy Alvaro and makes an offer, our response will be simple and clear: he is not for sale," Ancelotti added.

This season, A. Morata is competing for a starting position with teammate Karim Benzema. Both players have not been shining with excellent performance and their goal tally remains modest so far.
