Alvaro Morata ‘says yes to AC Milan move’ as Chelsea name price for struggling striker

Alvaro Morata has moved a step closer to a swift return to Italy after reportedly saying yes to a move to AC Milan.

The Spanish international hasn’t settled in London after arriving from Juventus last summer, and he managed just 11 goals in 31 Premier League games in 2017/18.

The departure of Antonio Conte and arrival of Maurizio Sarri hasn’t changed his mind about wanting to leave, and journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that the forward’s camp have agreed on a move to the San Siro.

All that is left now is for Chelsea to agree a fee with the Italian giants, with the club looking to recoup most of not all of what they shelled out last summer.

A deal between £58m-£62m could now be agreed, with Morata up for the move.

Former Milan defender Luca Antonini certainly believes the move could happen.

“I think Morata and Milan have already chosen [each other],” he told RMC.

“Clearly there is the need to convince Chelsea, who hold his registration.

“As far as I am concerned, I see the Spaniard as more suitable for Milan than a player like [Karim] Benzema.”
