Alvaro Morata Secures Four-Year Contract with AC Milan

Morata’s Move to AC Milan
AC Milan has officially announced the signing of Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid on a four-year contract. The Spanish striker, who captained Spain to victory in Euro 2024, will wear the number 7 jersey for the Rossoneri.

Background of the Transfer
Alvaro Morata has completed his transfer to AC Milan from Atletico Madrid, committing to a four-year deal. Despite having two years left on his contract with Atletico, Morata decided to move following a series of events. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, now a director at AC Milan, played a significant role in persuading Morata to join the club.

Factors Influencing the Transfer
Morata initially joined Atletico Madrid on loan in 2019, with the deal becoming permanent in 2021. However, his playing time was significantly reduced with the arrival of new players like Memphis Depay. This reduction, along with his positive experiences in Italy during his loan spell with Juventus, influenced his decision to return to Serie A.

Statements from Morata
“When you are in a place where you can’t give your 100%, it’s best to move on,” Morata said about leaving Atletico Madrid. “The trust shown to me by Zlatan, the squad, and the coach at Milan was crucial. I believe the best years of my career are ahead of me, and I am eager to play in Italy again, where I have always felt respected.”

AC Milan’s Official Announcement
AC Milan is excited to announce the signing of Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish national team captain, who recently led his side to victory in the European Championship, has agreed to join the Rossoneri until June 30, 2028, with the possibility of an extra year, according to AC Milan.

Looking Ahead
Under the management of Paolo Fonseca, it will be intriguing to see how Morata integrates into AC Milan’s strategies in the upcoming season.
