Milan keen to land Alvaro Morata

AC Milan are reportedly one of many clubs keeping tabs on Spain international Alvaro Morata.

The reports in Italy suggested that AC Milan are keen to land Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata.

The Spain international joined Chelsea from Real Madrid for a fee in the region of 66 million euros in July 2017. His contract expires in the summer of 2022.

Morata has played 48 times for Chelsea since signing from Real Madrid, scoring 15 goals and creating 6 assists in that time.

The 25-year-old is considered to be one of the best strikers in Spain.

Alvaro Morata has also scored 13 goals in 23 games for his country.

 

 

AC Milan shortlist Alvaro Morata as prime transfer target this summer.

The Italian giants have built a reputation for recruiting young talent from within Europe, predominantly targeting those with sell-on value and immense potential.

AC Milan are desperate to make an impact in the summer transfer window.

According to Football Italia (via Sky Italia) , “Alvaro Morata would accept a move to Milan, but Chelsea are asking for €65-70m. The Rossoneri are keen to sign a top striker this summer, and have also been linked with Gonzalo Higuain of Juventus. Tonight transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio has reported on his Sky show that new Rossoneri general manager Leonardo has contacted Morata’s entourage. The former Juve striker is keen to return to Italy and would accept the move, but the Blues would have to lower their €65-70m asking price. Higuain remains an option, with Monaco’s Radamel Falcao as the third name on the shortlist.”

Chelsea are not in a position where they need to sell and would like to keep hold of the striker, but right offer may force the club to consider a deal.

Undoubtedly he would be a fantastic recruit for Milan.

Milan fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club this summer.
