AC Milan are ready to pounce on the signature of Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata amid keen interest from Manchester United, according to reports.
The Spanish forward has been tipped to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer after failing to nail a starting place at the Santiago Bernabeu since he moved to the Spanish capital last summer after his impressive spell with Juventus, which saw a host of clubs in the Premier League all in his pursuit before Real triggered a buy-back clause to have him back at the club.
Zinedine Zidane has favoured other players in the central role over Morata this season, sparking transfer rumours of interest from several clubs in Europe with reports that Chelsea and United are keen on signing the striker.
Reports in Spanish outlet Marca have it that AC Milan have moved ahead of the Premier League clubs to sign Alvaro Morata and are ready to meet Real Madrid’s valuation of Morata.
