Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata regrets returning to Real Madrid in 2016
The Spain striker re-joined the club after two years in Italy with Juventus
"They treated me like the kid I was before the two seasons in Italy," he said
Alvaro Morata says he should never have gone back to Real Madrid and regrets leaving Italy.
Juventus signed Morata from Madrid in 2014 but the Spanish champions exercised a clause to re-sign him in 2016.
However, after just one year back at Madrid, Morata joined Chelsea in the summer.
"There were contractual agreements to respect," the striker told La Gazzetta dello Sport of his return to Spain.
"The disappointment was huge: I went right back to the start. They treated me like the kid I was before the two seasons in Italy.
"I arrived [in Italy] feeling like a boy and I returned feeling like a true player. I should never have left Italy and Juve.
"I really miss Italy. My wife would like to live in Spain; I'd like to live in Italy."
Morata is back in Italy this week with Chelsea, who face Roma in the Champions League.
The Spain international has made an encouraging start to life in the Premier League, scoring seven times in his 11 appearances in all competitions.
