Spain captain confirms new destination after winning Euro 2024

The player will undergo a medical before signing a contract until 2028. Morata and AC Milan will focus on pursuing the next deals of Tammy Abraham, Pavlovic and Youssuf Fofana.

Morata later confirmed the news: "It was important to come here to say goodbye to everyone. They are the people who helped me a lot, especially in difficult times. Now it's time for me to look for a new challenge."

In the past, Morata had two periods playing in Serie A with Juventus (2010-2014 and 2020-2022). Therefore, this player is very knowledgeable about this tournament.

During Euro 2024, Morata shocked the world when he mentioned the possibility of leaving Spain due to pressure from the media. The player said: "In Spain, it is difficult for me to find happiness. There is no doubt. I have always found happiness when playing outside Spain. I have said it many times before. Abroad, I receive respect. In Spain, I have never been respected for anything."

In the last tournament, Morata contributed 1 goal and 1 assist. He played a big role in the tactics when attracting the opponent's defenders so that the young wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams could have more space to play. In addition, Morata also pressed the opponent energetically right from the front line.

After Morata leaves, Atletico Madrid is likely to recruit Man City striker Julian Alvarez as a replacement. The Madrid team may have to pay a high price to get the services of the Argentine star.
