Manchester United and Alvaro Morata’s representatives are allegedly in talks as they try to work out a deal for the former Chelsea forward. The €12 million provision in Morata’s Atletico Madrid contract is something Manchester United is willing to pay, according to Turkish journalist Berat Kunt.
In order to relieve Rasmus Hojlund of the strain of scoring goals after the young Danish striker struggled to settle into the Premier League during his first season, Erik ten Hag is eager to bring in attacking reinforcements for the Red Devils this summer. As captain of Spain at Euro 2024, Morata scored in the team’s opening match against Croatia.
United plotting move for Alvaro Morata after speaking to his representatives
The departure of Anthony Martial from the club this summer has made signing a new striker more crucial for the Red Devils. Though his contract with Atletico Madrid expires in 2026, the 31-year-old striker Morata may make a comeback to the Premier League this summer.
Atletico Madrid forward Alvaro Morata is reportedly connected to a move to the Theatre of Dreams, according to Turkish publication via Sport Witness. INEOS values Premier League expertise highly. The wage package under consideration is expected to be the determining factor; Morata is apparently willing to accept a salary of €4.5 million a year from the Turkish club, which is also led by the former United manager.
It shouldn’t be an issue for United to pay more than Fener if they are sincere about obtaining the two-time Champions League victor.
