Romano: Milan leading Morata race while two right-backs are evaluted | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano has provided a brief update on AC Milan’s summer targets, confirming that they lead the race for Alvaro Morata.

Romano posted a tweet this afternoon saying that Steven Gerrard’s new club Al Ettifaq are the Saudi Arabian team who are most interested in Morata, but Milan ‘are keen on signing him and leading the race’.

The centre-forward position is one that Milan simply must address this summer given that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has retired and Divock Origi struggled last season thus forcing Olivier Giroud to work overtime.

Meanwhile, in a separate tweet, the journalist confirmed that Milan have Wilfried Singo on their list of right-back targets and have done since last week.

He remains a concrete option in the eyes of the Rossoneri management. Both Singo and Real Valladolid’s Iván Fresneda are being considered by Milan as options to replace Sergino Dest and perhaps provide more reliable cover than Alessandro Florenzi.
