The CEO of Milan George Furlan he spoke to Sky Sports after today’s meeting in Madrid with Alvaro Morata and his agents. The Atletico Madrid striker will be the offensive reinforcement for Paulo Fonseca’s Milan, as confirmed by the Rossoneri’s top executive: “Alvaro has expressed his desire, now we have to complete some formalities but we’re almost there”.
What’s missing for the final white smoke?
“Few things…”.
How did you find the player after the European Championship and how did you convince him given his announcement of his permanence at Atletico in recent days?
“He’s a great champion and you can see it just by talking to him, you understand why he’s the captain of Spain, just by seeing what he says. I found him optimistic and confident, ready to leave after a well-deserved vacation. As for convincing him, I have to thank Zlatan, who knows what it means to be the center forward of Milan, and Paulo Fonseca who explained to him how central he will be to his project”.
In the past few hours, Morata himself had commented on his imminent transfer to the Rossoneri: “The reason is simple, namely the trust of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the team and the coach. I can’t wait to start. Now I’m going on holiday because I have to be with my family who have helped me so much, otherwise I would start training tomorrow”.
