Earlier, Italy's Fabrizio Romano announced with the classic "Here we go" that AC Milan would trigger Morata's €13 million release clause and finalize Morata's official contract within the next 48 hours, after which the player will undergo a medical examination and sign a contract until 2028.

This is the second signing of Milan's summer window, and it is also a direct upgrade to the squad. From Zirkze to Morata before, the Milan hierarchy has undoubtedly made a wise choice.

Fans who follow Milan's transfer news know that Zirkze is Milan's number one target to strengthen their forward line after the end of the season, and they are also willing to activate the player's release clause, but Milan finally chose to withdraw due to the high commission demanded by the agent. Milan quickly started Plan B after the exit, and Ibrahimovic was reluctant to name a specific target at the time. But judging by the current progress, that choice is Morata.

Zirkze is younger and was the best young player in Serie A last season, but being young means there are variables. And Morata is a seasoned veteran and his goalscoring ability is certainly above Zirkze. He has played for Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and other giants, and has delivered good performances. Among them, he played for Juventus for 4 seasons, and in the 20-21 season, he scored 20+ goals and assisted 10+ performances. Last season, he scored 21 goals and provided 4 assists in 48 games for Atletico Madrid, and his ability is still top-notch. This summer, he represented Spain in the European Championship as the main center forward, and eventually won the championship.

And Morata is only 31 years old, it is the right time to join Serie A at this age, and it is not a problem to maintain the peak form for another 3-4 years. And the termination fee is only 13 million, which is 27 million less than Zirkze, and the gap is even greater if the commission is added. The savings will allow Milan to continue to strengthen other positions, thus achieving a comprehensive upgrade of the squad. For example, Pavlovich, Emozone, Yusuf Fofana, etc., these are all strong factions.

But Alvaro Morata will most likely not be the only striker Milan have brought in this summer. According to Milan team reporter Longo, despite the one-year contract extension with Milan, Jovic's future is still full of uncertainty. With the addition of Alvaro Morata and another new striker, the road to sell Jovic will also be opened.

Jovic's career peaked in Eintracht Frankfurt and began to turn around after joining Real Madrid for 63 million. After that, he was loaned, and in the summer of 22 he was exempted by Fiorentina, and 1 year later he was exempted from Milan. Last season, he made 30 appearances for Milan, 11 starts, scored nine goals and provided one assist, which is still a good performance as a rotation player. However, Milan are still looking to bring in another attacker, who is currently aiming for Blues veteran Tammy Abraham.

After securing Alvaro Morata, Milan will continue to negotiate with Roma over the transfer of Tammy Abraham. Milan's offer was a player swap, with the first name proposed being Saalmakles, followed by Daniel Maldini, Lorenzo Colombo and the other being Jovic. With Daniel Maldini close to Monza and Lorenzo Colombo close to Empoli, it remains to be seen that Jovic is rumoured to leave at this time, indicating that he is likely to be joined in a deal for Abraham.
