AC Milan to fight Chelsea and Manchester United for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata
AC MILAN will battle it out with Chelsea and Manchester United for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.
The Spanish international returned to the Bernabeu last summer, when Real exercised a buy-back clause inserted into the deal that took Morata to Juventus in 2014.

It was thought Los Blancos would sell the striker on last summer for a huge profit, but Morata stayed on to fight for his place.
Now a summer exit now looks on the cards, with AC Milan, ready to flex their financial muscles with a marquee signing following the recent Chinese takeover.

Despite only starting 17 games, Morata has scored an impressive 20 goals, but will want to be the main man after playing second fiddle to Karim Benzema all season.
According to AS, Milan sporting director Massimo Mirabelli is in Spain to tie up a deal for Villarreal defender Mateo Mussachio.
