Longo: Milan prepping four-year deal for Morata – he is the only target now

AC Milan are preparing a four-year contract for Alvaro Morata and he is now viewed as the only striker target by the club.

According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, the Spanish striker is the chosen one as far as Milan are concerned and they are working hard to close the deal.

Of course, with Morata still at Euro 2024 with the Spain National Team, the deal is not likely to happen within the next few days but Milan would like to get as much of it sorted as soon as possible.

Whilst some reports had suggested that Milan are readying a three-year deal for Morata, this report suggests it will actually be for four years.

The player is said to be very tempted by the idea and that is good news for Milan given he is thought to be the only serious striker target now that Joshua Zirkzee is off of the table. He also knows that he would have to take a drop on the €6m salary that he enjoys from Atletico Madrid.

It would only take €13m for Milan to sign Morata as that is his release clause, and the situation is too advanced for Atletico Madrid to do anything about that.
