Di Marzio: Ibrahimovic ‘pushing hard’ to convince Morata to accept Milan move | OneFootball

AC Milan have made the No.9 position their main priority this summer and after falling behind in the Joshua Zirkzee race, they are now focused on Alvaro Morata. According to a report, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is pushing hard for the striker’s go-ahead.

Milan have been working on the arrival of a new striker for several months, above all negotiations with Joshua Zirkzee and his agent. However, with Man Utd are now seemingly ahead in that race, the Rossoneri have shifted their focus.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ‘pushing hard’ to convince Morata to accept a move to the club. Milan have already made it clear that they are willing to pay the release clause, with only the Spaniard’s ‘yes’ missing.

The journalist adds that Atletico Madrid have expressed an interest in Girona’s Artem Dovbyk, which could be another sign of what’s to come. This past season, Morata scored 21 goals and assisted an additional five, proving his importance for Atleti once again.

The 31-year-old would certainly be ready immediately, being very familiar with Serie A after his time at Juventus, and this is something that Milan appreciate a lot. On the other hand, as highlighted by Andrea Longoni, it would only postpone the main issue.
