Alvaro Morata has given the green light to AC Milan and now the management will look to close the deal quickly, according to one journalist.
The striker position has been a hot topic over the past few days as Milan quickly shifted focus from Joshua Zirkzee – who initially was the primary target but is heading for Manchester United – to Morata.
The Spaniard has a €13m release clause and a willingness to leave Spain, which has helped accelerate the negotiations, and numerous sources have claimed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic personallty spoke with the former Juventus man to convince him.
According to what is being reported by Orazio Accomando of DAZN, Morata has ‘said yes’ to Milan. There was a positive discussion in the evening between his entourage and the Milan management, who are ready to sign the Spanish striker from Atletico Madrid.
Morata scored 21 goals and assisted an additional five for Atletico Madrid this past season, the best goal return of his career, and it showcased his importance once again.
He is currently with Spain at the European Championship and therefore could arrive at Milan as the winner of a major trophy, if they get past England in the final in Berlin on Sunday.
