Alvaro Morata could undergo his AC Milan medical tests as early as Wednesday or Thursday this week with the move confirmed shortly afterwards.
As reported by Sport Mediaset (via Milan News), the Spanish striker has struck an agreement with Milan and will be the new striker who replaces Olivier Giroud.
Having just won the 2024 European Championship with Spain, Morata has returned to Madrid today to continue the celebrations and he will also tell the Atletico Madrid president that he intends to leave.
The detail between the two clubs, a simple €13m release clause, will be finalised in the next day or so and that will then prompt the medical to take place, either in Madrid or Milan.
It will be a great relief for Milan to get a quality striker through the door with experience, and he will sign a four-year deal.
Once that move is sorted, focus can switch to the pursuit of AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana. There is still a gap of around €4-5m between the two clubs when it comes to that transfer, so negotiations need to continue if he is to join Paulo Fonseca’s side.
There is already an agreement in place with the player on personal terms.
Where is romano
Romano hasn’t said here we go but he did say breaking. So it’s happening
Mored midtable mindset!
Whatever about going for a 2nd rate manager despite all the options available (and we will give him our support), now after years of striker search, the best we can do is a soon to be 32yo journey man, who has always been average.
This summer has gone from optomism and excitement to acceptance to downright despair.
Who could have imagined the Serie A team with the best books, would aim so so low!
Some say its the management just care about top 4, well the way this summer has gone for Milan and their opponents, top 4 is absolutely no guarantee
We get top 4 easy. Juve will struggle. Inter and Milan are a lock, napoli and atalanta for other top 4 spots
We shall see how the summer goes. As of right now Inter, Juve and Napoli have better squads.
Atalanta will be another level this year and Roma will not be far away either!
What makes Juventus and Napoli squads all of a sudden better than Milan’s?
Did Thuram and De Gregorio flipped the scale in Juventus favor? Both of them are downgrade or at best on tge sme level as the 2 players they are replacing, Szczesny and Rabiot. Douglas Luiz is a good pick up but will see how he adjusts to serie A.
Is the signing of Boungiorno all of a sudden makes Napoli better than Milan? Same Napoli squad that finished 10th, 22 points behind Milan, and they are most likely losing their best player.
Still, only inter has a better squad than Milan at this point.
Agree
Firstly they signed 2 managers who have done well in Italy, while we signed one who was a failure.
Secondly they have actual strikers, Osimehn, Vlahovic oh and Inter have Lautaro! All world class in their prime – Milan, Morata
Thirdly – I can’t go through all the players here but the depth they have in all positions is better.
Look at Juve goalkeeper roster or midfield.
Napoli have signed 2 excellent CB’s as well as Spinazzola at Lb for depth.
Yes Napoli had a bad year after a string of bad coaching decisions, but they were miles ahead the previous year and Conte will have them ready, no doubt
Milan have ordinary CB’s, poor midfielders and a forward line that is short of goals.
All we needed was 1 good DM, the likes of Hojbjerg for 20m would have been fine and a good young striker.
We could probably afford that much from player sales, but this shower of absolute cretins running the club have as much ambition as a sloth!
The sooner we are rid of these vacuous morons the better, and I include Zlatan the mercenary in that.
I wrote a fulsome reply that vanished, oh well
So you actually think Marin is a better cb than all of our “ordinary” cbs really ? come on that’s stretching it well beyond the breaking point.
We didn’t lose anyone but giroud. At least not yet. Fonseca has some ideas, we’ll see.
Our squad is still second best in Italy.
Juve got some players but they also have a green coach (whom I wanted) that never navigated multiple fronts before. Bologna was just home competition no eu games.
Napoli doesn’t have much. They got who? Kvara and osi and that’s about iit. Rest are average to mid good.
Atalanta can be good if they don’t sell, but they always sell. I don’t rate roma at all. They’re the blueprint for a loser club in my eyes. And the squad is underwhelming apart from dybala.
Juve and Napoli have better squads lmao… I’m laughing really hard at that one!
Shiny transfer market wont guarantee good results. Like Chelsea or ManU., with their signings on “promising stars’. Yes, Chelsea and ManU are arguably in more competitive league than Serie A, but still, it shows that no guarantee based on transfer. I am not saying that I am 100% satisfied with Milan’s market, but I won’t judge the end result, not at least half season.
We didn’t need shiny, we just needed decent.
A good young striker and a DM would be just fine.
20m on Hojbjerg or Fofana or whoever and a good striker.
So many good young strikers avilable. Milan have gone for a cheap player in decline, BRAVO!
LMAO THis is NOT a midtable signing. This guy had 21 goals last season for a top level team. But keep up the nonsense.
He’s 32 in October!!
Literally zero ambition with this signing, just maintain a very very low level striker option
We aren’t playing with Tonali and Bennacer in the center of the park so Top 2 is definitely on the cards. Juventus are rubbish and so is Napoli. We are either winning it or finishing 2nd again. We are much better than the rest of the league. The only season we have finished outside if the top 4 was when Kessie left and we were stuck with dumb and dumber, Tonali and Bennacer.
Really heartbreaking
Excellent news! He had 21 goals last season, one of his career best. Anyone who thinks this is a “midtable signing” is not thinking clearly.
