Alvaro Morata has recently become one of the best forwards in the European football. The 24-year-old striker is too good to sit on the bench, which is going to happen if he stays at Real Madrid.
The Spanish international forward started his professional career exactly at Real Madrid. He was a part of the Los Blancos’s second team in the period between 2010 and 2013. Meanwhile he managed to record 37 appearances and 10 goals for Real Madrid’s first team. However, it’s always difficult to find a place among the regular XI of Real Madrid, no matter how good you are. That’s why, on 19th July 2014, Juventus bought him for about 20 million euros. Morata had a very successful spell at the Italian giant. The Spanish forward scored 27 goals in 93 matches for Juve in all competitions (2 seasons). He was a key player in Juventus’ road to the Champions League final in 2015.
To continue with, Alvaro Morata returned to Real Madrid one year ago and showed he’s worth the 30 million euros Los Blancos paid to have him back in the team. The striker scored 20 goals in 43 games in all competitions for Los Blancos last campaign. He was really effective, because he was in the starting XI on only 18 occasions!
With the beginning of the summer transfer window, Morata was firstly linked with Manchester United. Jose Mourinho wanted the Spaniard to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who left the team this summer. However, The Red Devils gave up of Morata, because of the high transfer fee. Then, there were rumours that Chelsea are going to sign the 24-year-old forward.
The latest rumours send Alvaro Morata to AC Milan. The Italian club is making a good selection. They have already bought Andre Silva, Lucas Biglia, Ricardo Rodriguez and many other good players. The Red and Blacks are ready to pay 70 m. euros, which sounds like a good offer.
