Milan have chosen their new number 9: Giroud’s replacement in mister Fonseca’s attacking department will be Alvaro Morata. This Monday, the Rossoneri club informed Atletico Madrid that they wanted to pay the 13 million euro release clause to secure the Spanish centre-forward who won the European Championship as captain on Sunday with the Red. Later, midweek, Giorgio Furlani will meet the player’s agents in Madrid and with them he will define the very last contractual details.
When and where medical visits
Morata’s medical with the Devils will be on Wednesday in Madrid, then the former Juventus player will go on vacation and recharge his batteries in view of the season of his long-awaited return to Serie A. Awaiting him at San Siro is a four-year contract (plus an optional one) worth around 5 million per year.
The words of the president of Atletico Madrid
Already in the afternoon an indirect confirmation of Morata’s imminent farewell had arrived from the president of the colchoneros, Henry Cerezo:”It seems he’s leaving… according to what the press says. He told us he was staying and now he’s leaving. There’s no problem, Morata is a great player and a great person. If he wants to leave, no one will stop him. Neither me nor Atlético”, his statements to TeleCinco.
