Di Marzio: Milan to hold first talks over €10m Atletico Madrid forward this week

AC Milan will open talks over the potential signing of Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid this week, according to a report.

According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio, Milan continue to think about Morata as an option to reinforce the centre-forward department and in the coming days there will be the first real discussions between the parties.

The former Juventus player has a €10m release clause which makes him more of a low-cost option for the striker position. He knows the league well and has experience, which means the management think he could be a good alternative to Olivier Giroud.

However, the will of the Spain international and whether or not he will give the definitive go-ahead for a move back to Italy remains to be seen at the moment.

The name of Gianluca Scamacca remains in the background as a back-up plan, but he has already given his word to Roma.
