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.
