Yesterday, Marco Ballarini, the Mayor of the city of Corbetta in the metropolitan area of Milan, announced, via a post on his official account on Instagram, the arrival of Álvaro Morata, the Milan striker, among its residents.
Here's how he announced it:
"Alvaro Morata to Corbetta. Here we go! No it's not an early April Fool's Day. The champion Alvaro Morata is our new Corbetta resident. The Spanish goalscorer, newly acquired by Milan, is finalising the official transfer to his new (wonderful) home in our city. You all know I'm a huge Inter fan, but I’m happy to welcome Álvaro Morata to our big Corbetta family. And as Fabrizio Romano would say...ÁLVARO MORATA IS MOVING TO CORBETTA, HERE WE GO!"
Morata did not take Mayor Ballarini's announcement well. The Spanish striker, who joined Milan in the last summer transfer window from Atlético Madrid, replied this morning to the Milan politician, again through an Instagram story:
"Dear Mr. Mayor, thank you for violating my privacy. Fortunately, I do not own any valuable possessions; my only treasure is my children, whose safety has been disturbed by you. I thought the Municipality of Corbetta could guarantee me a certain level of privacy; instead, I find myself having to change houses immediately due to your inability to use social media and protect your citizens."
