Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still waiting to receive a definitive answer from Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata over a potential move to Milan this summer, reports in Italy detail.

Ibrahimovic and Milan wait for Morata response

Ibrahimovic was reportedly the one who made the phone call to Morata to discuss Milan as a possible destination and he has also been crucial in recommending the Spaniard to the Rossoneri board and owners.

The player has a release clause in his contract with Atletico Madrid, believed to stand at a value of €13m.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Ibrahimovic and Milan are pushing hard to convince the former Juventus man into returning to Serie A this summer, however, the striker has not yet given a definitive answer either way.

Morata has been impressed by Ibrahimovic’s diplomatic work, though, according to Di Marzio.

It is unlikely that the situation will change in the coming days, as Morata is fully focussed on the EURO 2024 campaign with Spain, whom he captains.

La Roja are due to play France in the competition’s semi-final at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Tuesday night. The final will then be played at Berlin’s Olympiastadion next Sunday.

Other reports over the weekend indicate that Milan could also be interested in a possible deal for former Inter and Roma striker Romelu Lukaku as a potential alternative, while Bologna‘s Joshua Zirkzee, who had been a target for the Rossoneri, is moving closer to joining Manchester United on a permanent transfer.
