AC Milan has successfully signed Spanish striker Ãlvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid. The 31-year-old forward has agreed to a four-year contract with an option to extend for an additional year. This transfer comes after Milan activated Morata’s release clause, reportedly worth around £11 million. Morata, who recently captained Spain to victory in Euro 2024, will wear the number 7 jersey at Milan.
Morata brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record to Milan. Throughout his career, he has played for top clubs including Real Madrid, Juventus, and Chelsea, accumulating over 200 club goals. Last season, he scored 21 goals for Atletico Madrid. His international career is equally impressive, with 36 goals in 80 appearances for Spain.
This signing is part of Milan’s efforts to strengthen their squad following a disappointing Serie A season where they finished 19 points behind champions Inter Milan. The Rossoneri have also undergone a managerial change, with Paulo Fonseca taking over as head coach from Stefano Pioli.
Morata’s arrival fills the void left by Olivier Giroud, who has moved to Los Angeles FC. Milan hopes that Morata’s experience and goal-scoring ability will help them regain their competitive edge in both domestic and European competitionsã€8†source】ã€9†source】ã€10†source】.
