CM: Milan ‘only possible destination’ for Morata as Zlatan gets involved – the situation | OneFootball

The AC Milan management are continuing to work on giving Paulo Fonseca a new striker and at the moment Alvaro Morata seems to be the main target.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have already mobilised in the past few hours to try to speed up the Morata front. It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who entered the negotiations in person with the aim of trying to convince Morata of his role in the Milan project.

The directors want to speed things up given that preseason begins today, and the recent statements that Morata gave to the Spanish press suggested that he has not completely closed the door to the idea of leaving Atletico Madrid.

The Rossoneri are currently the ‘only possible destination’ in the event that the striker leaves Atletico as per the report, and he currently has a contract worth €6m net per season until June 2026. If the payment of the €13m clause does not represent an obstacle, the salary needs negotiating.

The Spaniard’s strong bond with Italy and his focus on the project (he rejected a huge offer from Saudi Arabia) are all weapons in the hands of Milan, who are willing to offer a deal until 2027 or 2028 which involves a slight pay cut. Once the European Championships are over, the situation will be defined.
