Milan sabotage Chelsea’s plans by moving swiftly to sign the Spain legend to a four-year contract. It seems that one of Spain’s legendary players has secured a high-profile transfer to Italian powerhouse AC Milan, just as the country has won another European Championship.
La Roja captain and Atletico Madrid ace, Alvaro Morata, has had his release clause met by the Rossoneri after they missed out on landing Joshua Zirkzee. CaughtOffside columnist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, posted on X (formerly Twitter) overnight that Milan will complete the formalities in the next 48 hours and tie Morata down to a four-year contract. It will be the 31-year-old’s third spell in Serie A after representing Juventus on two former occasions, and it could also bring to an end Chelsea’s interest in one of his Atletico Madrid team-mates.
Spain legend Morata’s Milan move could see Toney head to Atleti
Football Transfers note the Blues interest in Samu Omorodion is likely to be curtailed given that the club have already seen Memphis Depay depart after his contract with the Rojiblancos ended.
That is unless Atleti are able to find themselves a high quality replacement for Morata during the current transfer window.
According to HITC, that could come in the shape of England international and Brentford hit-man, Ivan Toney.
Though it’s expected Toney will leave the Bees during the current transfer window, there’s bound to be a number of clubs interested in securing his services.
