Sky: Morata holds the keys to Milan move – parties willing to meet on salary

Alvaro Morata holds the power when it comes to a potential move to AC Milan as the Atletico Madrid striker must now decide whether to pursue a move to the Rossoneri or stay in Spain. 

As reported by Sky Sport Italia, Milan have reignited their interest in Morata in a concrete way and the economic side of the deal will not be hard to complete.

There is a €13m release clause in his Atletico Madrid contract which means Milan can sign him without thinking twice about the fee, and a deal is said to already exist between the player and Milan on salary.

The catalyst for the move will be the player himself deciding that his time at Atleti has come to a close, but he could still stay with Diego Simeone’s side.

The move is thought to be very tempting for the former Juventus striker and he has already turned down a lucrative offer in Saudi Arabia to continue playing in Europe.

The fact that Spain are still in the 2024 European Championship means that a move is not going to happen until that tournament is over or Spain have been eliminated.

Signing Morata would provide more attacking depth whilst the pursuit for Olivier Giroud’s long-term replacement continues.
