CM.it: Atletico Madrid forward a possible solution in Milan’s striker search

By Oliver Fisher -

Alvaro Morata has emerged as a possible target for AC Milan as their pursuit of a new centre-forward continues ahead of the summer window, a report claims.

As Calciomercato.it report, Morata seems to now be behind Memphis Depay in the pecking order as his last start in a league game dates back to February 12, and since then he has played fragments of matches off the bench while the Dutchman has been partnered with Antoine Griezmann.

A possible farewell to Atletico Madrid in the summer cannot be ruled out therefore if this situation continues, with the possibility of a return to Serie A given his history there with Juventus and the fact that there is no shortage of teams that need attacking reinforcements.

The report states that Morata ‘could be the ideal profile for Milan’ as they need a striker badly, with Olivier Giroud having worked overtime all season, Divock Origi disappointing and Zlatan Ibrahimovic possibly retiring.

Morata could represent a ‘logical choice’, considering the fact his contract expires in 2024 which will limit Atletico Madrid’s demands. The Spaniard has scored 12 goals in 26 La Liga games this season, not a bad haul for someone who hasn’t often had chances to start from the start.

  1. Can we please get someone under 30 for Pete’s same?! Otherwise we’re just kicking the can down the road to be in the same predicament in a couple seasons.

    1. had you set your salary demands at a somewhat lower level i would have preferred you instead of morata, but already demanding a 1 mil then in a couple of years you will demand 5-10 mil if you are slightly successfull so thats gotta be no 😀

      Anyways morata should stay as far as way from ac milan as possible but the player has also previously said that he wouldnt want to join another italian team than juventus so hopefully this isnt gonna happen but maybe he has taken a difference stance by now.

  2. I don’t want to believe any of these rumors but Milan management is not making any sense.

    We have Ibra, Giroud and a useless Origi who hasn’t scored double digit goals in God knows how long and know we are considering Morata?

    The only best option of Milan are serious are Julian Retegui or Marcus Thuram.

    1. I am sorry to say but we can’t rely on Ibra. I don’t know why we signed Origi. We need two young strikers with loads of potential.

  3. If Morata comes I will stop watching football all together and become a monk in a faraway temple. That 5-goal-wonder and Origi will lead us to 4 consecutive UCL-victories. Yeah right. Didn’t they learn ANYTHING from Origi??????
