Alvaro Morata’s move to AC Milan is set to shake up the Rossoneri’s attack, especially following the exit of Olivier Giroud. With the experienced Spanish striker now a part of the Milan set-up, fans have much to look forward to.

Here are ten key things to note about Morata’s latest career chapter:

1. Fresh Stint in Italy

Alvaro Morata is no stranger to Serie A. The Spaniard previously enjoyed two stints at Juventus and a record of 35 goals in 130 Serie A appearances. His familiarity with the league and its demands will be a valuable asset for Milan.

2. Lengthy Commitment

Morata has signed a four-year deal with AC Milan, keeping him at the club until at least 2028. The contract also includes an option for an additional year, indicating Milan’s long-term plans for the striker.

3. Transfer Details

The Rossoneri triggered Morata’s €15 million (£12.64m/$16.3 million) release clause at Atletico Madrid. This relatively modest fee could prove a bargain if Morata delivers the goods.

4. Jersey Number 7

Morata will wear the No. 7 jersey at Milan, a number often associated with star players. This shows the club’s confidence in him to lead their attack.

5. Proven Experience

At 31, Morata brings a wealth of experience. He captained Spain to victory at the European Championship and Nations League in 2023. Such leadership qualities will be invaluable for Milan.

6. Recent Form

Morata scored 21 goals across all competitions for Atletico Madrid last season. However, his form dipped in the latter half, with only two goals post-January. Milan will hope he can rediscover his best form.

7. Personal Motivations

Morata’s decision to leave Atletico was partly due to dissatisfaction with media and fan treatment in Spain. His desire for a fresh start in a supportive environment was a key factor in choosing Milan.

8. Family Ties

Morata’s wife, Alice Campello, is Italian. This personal connection to Italy likely influenced his decision to return to Serie A, where he had previously thrived.

9. Filling Big Shoes

With Olivier Giroud’s departure to LAFC, Morata is expected to play a significant role in Milan’s attack. His ability to lead the line will be crucial for the Rossoneri.

10. Pre-Season Tests

Milan’s pre-season tour in the United States will see Morata face off against Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. These matches will provide an early test of his integration into the team.
