Background
Morata, who has had a difficult period at Atlético Madrid, has been linked with a move away from the club for some time. Previous reports indicated his release clause was set at €12 million earlier this summer. The striker had also confirmed interest from Italian clubs before renewing his contract with Atlético Madrid in March.
This transfer marks a significant move for both Morata and AC Milan, as the club looks to bolster its attacking options ahead of the new season.
