Alvaro Morata said it during the Euro. He may have just come off a good season with Atlético de Madrid (15 goals in La Liga), but the captain of the Spanish team crowned at Euro 2024 no longer feels as loved in his country.This is my opinion from the bottom of my heart, but as I often say, there are times when it is complicated for me in Spain. I am tired of being told that I am a victim, that I complain, that… I just want it to end in the best possible way and I want to enjoy it, because this could also be my last tournament with the national team.»
Tired of being criticized by his own people, the Spaniard did not hesitate to seize the opportunity offered to him by AC Milan of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paulo Fonseca. Priority to strengthen the Lombard attack, Morata officially joins the Rossoneri who paid the release clause of the Spaniard (13 M€). “AC Milan is proud to announce the signing of Alvaro Borja Morata Martin from Atlético Madrid. Captain of the Spanish national team, with whom he recently won the European Championship, Morata has signed with the Rossoneri until June 30, 2028, with an option to extend for a further year.”we can read on the official website of the Italian club.
Another return to Italy
At 31 years old, Alvaro Morata confirms that he is a player who does not stay more than two years in his clubs. Trained at Real Madrid then sold to Juventus in 2014, the Spanish striker spent two seasons in Piedmont before returning to his training club. A one-year comeback followed by a transfer to Chelsea then a year and a half loan to Atlético.
Bought by the Colchoneros in 2019, Morata then returned to Juventus, in the form of a two-year loan. Returning to the Spanish capital in 2022, the new European champion has therefore once again decided to pack his bags and return to Italy for a second time. But this time, not to Juventus.
