Chelsea put £62m price tag on Alvaro Morata as AC Milan talks begin
Written by News on 26/07/2018
Chelsea have told AC Milan they will have to pay up to £62m for Alvaro Morata after initial negotiations got underway on Wednesday – according to Sky in Italy.
It is understood Milan’s new sporting director, Leonardo, had a series of phone conversations about a potential transfer, with the player reportedly keen on a return to Italy.
The two clubs remain poles apart on their valuations of the player, though, prompting Milan to retain their interest in bringing Gonzalo Higuain or Radamel Falcao to the San Siro.
Morata joined Chelsea last summer from Real Madrid for an initial £57m, with the job of replacing Diego Costa.
Chelsea have already made initial contact with Juventus with the hope of signing Higuain, according to Sky in Italy.
