Di Marzio: Milan hold concrete interest in Morata with tempting clause active

AC Milan’s search for a new striker continues to dominate the headlines and the latest report claims that Alvaro Morata is a concrete target.

According to what is being reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, the latest name for the attacking department is Morata. The Spanish striker has a clause of €13m and is someone that the management are seriously evaluating.

Morata – who is currently away with Spain at the European Championship – recently made a post that reiterated his unwillingness to go to Saudi Arabia. Milan have also courted him in the past, and now might be tempted to accelerate.

While Morata might not be a name considered as glamorous as some of the other targets such as Joshua Zirkzee, he is in his prime currently and he knows Serie A well given that he has had two spells with Juventus.

The 31-year-old scored 59 goals and added 39 assists in 185 games for Juve across all competitions, and he arguably played the best football of his career so far in Italy.

He is currently with Atletico Madrid with whom he has 58 goals and 14 assists in 154 games, while before that he was at Real Madrid and he also had a couple of seasons with Chelsea.
