A little bit of a Sunday update on Alvaro Morata to Manchester United comes from Marca, who have been surprisingly calm throughout this mini saga.
Marca go with a headline quoting Jose Mourinho as saying “Here, you are going to be important”, explaining the Manchester United manager has recently spoken to Morata. However, in their actual article, Marca claim Mourinho said “Come with me, you’ll be important”.
It doesn’t make any difference really, and the gist is Mourinho spoke to Morata before the player’s agent met Real Madrid on Friday morning.
Mourinho hasn’t promised Morata a starting place, say Marca, but has explained how and where he’ll play, which is essentially the same thing.
Despite some reports saying Morata will travel to Manchester United and sign for the club on Monday, Marca once again calm the timeframe down.
The player’s agent Juanma Lopez, who has advised Morata since the footballer was just 14 years of age, will meet again with Madrid on Monday.
At that time Manchester United’s offer will be put forward, which is expected to be around €70m, but Real Madrid want that to rise to €90m.
