AC Milan willing to pay Atletico Madrid star’s €15m release clause | OneFootball

Earlier this week, Alvaro Morata all-but confirmed his intention to stay at Atletico Madrid, rejecting a move to Saudi Arabia in the process. The 31-year-old striker, who is currently with the Spain squad at Euro 2024, will remain at the Civitas Metropolitano for another 12 months. Or will he?

Morata may have committed his future to Atleti, but that hasn’t stopped AC Milan from pursuing him. Relevo have confirmed information from Sky Italia that the Rossoneri are willing to pay Morata’s release clause, valued at €15m.

Milan are determined to convince Morata to join, and the report states that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who holds a management role at the San Siro, has personally spoken to Morata in an effort to convince him to join this summer.

It will be interesting to see whether Morata is convinced to leave, so soon after confirming his intention to remain at Atletico Madrid. If he were to depart, Diego Simeone would undoubtedly need a new striker.
