Alvaro Morata’s move to AC Milan is just a matter of time, according to a report, as the parties have reached an agreement and just need to take care of the formalities. The striker could sign as early as next week, even.
The No.9 position has been a hot topic this week as Milan quickly shifted focus from Joshua Zirkzee, who initially was the primary target, to Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata. The latter has a €13m release clause and a willingness to leave Spain, which helped accelerate the negotiations.
According to Antonio Vitiello of MilanNews, after reaching an agreement over a three-year contract worth €5m per year, the transfer is now just ‘a matter of time’. The final details of the contract will be sorted after the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
Both Milan and Morata’s entourage are optimistic that they will reach a positive conclusion. We just have to wait a few more days for the answer, with the striker fully focused on the Euros for now, but he already gave his go-ahead in the talks with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Indeed, as the report states, the Swede was important in the negotiations as he personally called Morata and convinced him to leave Spain for Milano.
