It was almost indisputable until now that Alvaro Morata would leave Madrid's "Real". However, reports have appeared in the English press that the "royal" club expects to receive a very large sum of money for their backup striker.
According to the newspaper "The Independent", the Spanish champions would only agree to sell the 24-year-old footballer for £78 million, even though he does not get as much playing time as he would like.
Nevertheless, considering that clubs like "Manchester United" and London's "Chelsea" are interested in the forward, the transfer could still happen.
According to the media, "The Red Devils" hoped to pay around £60 million for Morata, but it is possible that if better options do not arise, team coach Jose Mourinho will agree to pay the requested amount.
On the other hand, "Real" president Florentino Perez does not force the striker's transfer and will only make the transfer at a price he finds acceptable.
This season Morata scored 20 goals and made six assists in 43 matches. Additionally, based on the statistic showing how many minutes he needs to score, in the "La Liga" he is only behind Barcelona's star Lionel Messi, so he would definitely be a great reinforcement for English clubs.
