AC Milan are in the hunt for at least one new striker and one of the names that is gathering a lot of pace is Alvaro Morata.
As has been reported by Sport Mediaset (via Milan News), there is actually no reason for Milan to fear the new contract that he is set to sign with his current club, Atletico Madrid.
Normally that would spell the end of any transfer speculation, but in this case, the renewal is only so that the Spanish side can protect his value and send him out on loan for the 2023/24 campaign.
The Rossoneri are very keen on bringing the Spanish striker in as he is the right technical profile for Stefano Pioli and he has scored goals in Serie A before with Juventus.
The only real issue is that he currently gets paid €9 million per season which is too much for Milan, so there will have to be some negotiation there.
