Since Morata announced his intention to stay, reports have emerged on AC Milan’s interest in the 31-year-old striker. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who holds a director role at the Rossoneri, has been working to convince him to join, and it appears to have worked.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MD), Morata has now agreed to join Milan. The deal is expected to advance once Euro 2024 is over, at which point he will inform Atleti of his intention to head to the San Siro.

Milan will pay Morata’s release clause, rumoured to be valued at €13m, and they will hand out a three-year contract, worth a total of €12m. This deal would mean that Atletico Madrid must sign a new striker this summer, considering that Memphis Depay has already departed.
