It seems AC Milan are pretty focused on signing Álvaro Morata. According to the latest reports from Italy, the Rossoneri consider the Real Madrid striker a perfect target for the summer, even though he has some history playing for their arch rivals Juventus.
But when Calcio Mercato give an update on the situation today, they make it clear that the Serie A side will have some tough competition from Manchester United to sign the player.
They say Real Madrid are expecting José Mourinho’s side to bid for Morata. As Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s renewal seems more unlikely and Anthoine Griezmann has decided to stay at Atletico Madrid, the Spaniard would become the number one target for the Red Devils’ attack. At least according to these claims.
It’s claimed Real Madrid are willing to let Morata go, but he won’t be cheap. The club would be demanding €70m for the transfer, which may be paid pver two years. Champions League football is mentioned as the big advantage that Manchester United have over Milan.
