If Morata negotiations with Real Madrid fail, AC Milan have already identified Andrea Belotti of Torino and Andre Silva of Porto as possible alternatives.
MILAN TRANSFER NEWS – After signing Musacchio and Kessie, AC Milan are concentrated in closing the signing of an attacker. Fassone has promised that a star, who can guarantee a lot of goals, will come. Alvaro Morata remains top priority but Belotti and Andre Silva are the alternatives.
After the Champions League final, asked whether he would join AC Milan, Morata replied: “difficult” but he didn’t rule out such a possibility. It now seems that the Spaniard intends to stay at Real Madrid even if that means being Benzema’s substitute. During this week it will be clear what the chances are for Morata to join the rossoneri but Milan are already considering several high profile alternatives.
According to the Italian media, the red and blacks have a plan B and a plan C to put in Montella’s orders a fierce goalscorer in time for the Europa League play offs. Torino’s striker, Andrea Belotti remains the alternative. A fan of Milan since his early childhood Belotti is also the player most wanted be the fans. The 23 year old has a release clause of 100 million euros and Torino demand it to be payed in full. Milan are not scared by his hefty price tag and the chances for this negotiation to well are pretty high. Fassone is ready to offer 60 millions plus Bertolacci and/or Lapadula. A part of this sum will be financed by Niang’s sale with Everton as possible destination. Furthermore the rossoneri are willing to offer an additional 10 million euros in bonuses. Torino must quickly reply but Milan can count on Belotti’s desire to play in San Siro.
The second alternative is Andre Silva of Porto. In a meeting with Jorge Mendes, Fassone and Mirabelli discussed the availability of the young Portuguese attacker who has grabbed the attention of many big European clubs this season. Porto considering him to be one of the biggest talents in European football today and have put a 60 million price tag. We have to wait for Morata’s negotiation outcome but if that fails counter moves for Belotti and Andre Silve are well prepared.
