AC Milan are looking to rebuild the midfield first and then they will look to give Stefano Pioli a new starting striker, a report has claimed.
According to Calciomercato.com, one of the names that the management like is Alvaro Morata of Atletico Madrid. In fact, Milan and the player’s entourage have scheduled a meeting for next week to begin talks about a potential deal.
The negotiation will not be easy especially from an economic point of view. The Spanish striker is still under contract with Atletico and has a salary of €9m net per year, even though the supposedly agreed renewal with the LaLiga side is not yet official.
The current agreement also includes a release clause which could prevent Milan from negotiating with Los Colchoneros too, which is why the meeting is important to understand the margins of an operation.
The tax advantage of the Growth Decree cannot be used. It would have been triggered in the event of a buy-out by Juventus in June 2022 but now the Spaniard does not meet the requirements, so he will need to take a big pay cut.
A couple of exits are needed to help finance Morata’s arrival with Ante Rebic, Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers all possibly leaving. Their departures would make it easier for Furlani and Moncada to try for Morata.
