Alvaro Morata’s future at Atletico Madrid has been the subject of speculation over the last few weeks, following reports linking with a return to Italy, with Juventus and AC Milan both said to be interested.
However, Morata is set to stay at Atletico, having recently signed a new current at the club, although Marca have reported that his new release clause is a measly €10m. Saudi Arabian club Al Taawoun have been interested in activating this, and they plan to offer Morata €50m per season.

All that remains is for Morata’s contract extension to be made official, and then both he and Atletico Madrid can move forward in unison. Both will hope that he can have a better season in 2023-24 than he did in 2022-23.
