Morata agrees terms with Roma but Serie A competition emerges

Alvaro Morata has reportedly agreed terms with Roma, but Inter, Juventus and Milan are also interested in the Spanish striker.

Morata seems likely to return to Serie A despite signing a contract extension with Atletico Madrid.

The La Liga giants will soon confirm his contract extension until 2026, but according to Sunday’s printed edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (page 7), the new deal includes a release clause that will go from €20m to €12m.

Both Gazzetta and Corriere dello Sport report Roma have offered Morata a €4.5m deal plus €500,000 bonuses until June 2027. The Rome-based paper claims Morata has already accepted Roma’s offer.

However, there are more Serie A clubs interested in the Spaniard. Juventus, Inter and Milan are all monitoring Alvaro, especially considering his affordable clause.

Inter director Beppe Marotta brought Morata to Juventus in 2014 and is still an admirer of the 30-year-old.

On the other hand, Juventus would consider his signature if Dusan Vlahovic leaves for PSG. Romelu Lukaku is believed to be the Bianconeri’s primary target, but his transfer depends on how soon PSG will send their offer for Vlahovic. If it comes too late and Lukaku picks another team in the meantime, then Juventus will try to bring Morata back to the club again.
