What will be the future of Alvaro Morata? This question is being asked in Spain, especially after the recent statements made by the Atletico Madrid striker: "I am ready to leave. If I read that they want to sign eight strikers, then I understand that I am not the club's priority. I cannot stay here and not play." His contract, which expires in 2026, includes a rather affordable release clause of 12 million euros.
The connection between Morata and Italy has always been very strong, partly because his wife is Italian and he has probably shown his best performances at Juventus. The Bianconeri are closely monitoring the situation, but they are not the only Italian club following the 31-year-old Spaniard: reports from Spain also mention interest from Milan and Roma, who are working to replace Giroud and Lukaku, respectively.
The Rossoneri continue to have Joshua Zirkzee at the top of their preference list, but given the difficulties in reaching an agreement with his agent regarding commissions, Milan's executives are also considering other options, including Morata.
For now, the Spaniard does not want to think about the future and is focused solely on the European Championship with his national team. He does not want any distractions and has already stated that he will make a definitive decision only after the competition ends. A few days ago, interviewed after Spain's match against Italy, Morata commented on the rumors about his possible return to Serie A: "Will you see me again in Italy? The truth is, I don't know. For vacation, certainly, because I always come here; it’s a beautiful place: my second home."
For now, Alvaro remains non-committal and waits for updates about his future. But first, he needs to focus on the present and a European Championship that is still fully underway, as reported by Milan News.
