Bringing in Morata to replace Giroud was the right decision for AC Milan because Morata already really understands how to play Serie A with Juventus and this is very beneficial because it will be very easy to adapt, of course this is an advantage for AC Milan in making their front line more productive. In fact, Atletico Madrid initially set a high price for Morata, but this high price made it difficult for other teams to buy Morata, who is already 30 years old. Imo, in the end Atletico was forced to lower prices.

With Morata's arrival at AC Milan, they hope that Morata can sharpen AC Milan's attack line for next season. The reason is that with Morata's expertise and experience while playing at Juventus, it is hoped that he can make a big contribution to AC Milan in competing in domestic and European competitions.

Morata's performance is actually quite good, it's just stuck without any improvement because after all, when we are at a higher level, inevitably we must be able to compete so that the situation becomes profitable for the player's own future career and Morata is difficult to realize that.
But that does not mean he is a bad player because after all he is one of the strikers who has indeed been in a big club even though most of them only go back and forth in 2 places. He was once a line up at Madrid only to lose the competition because at that time there was still Higuain afterwards there was Benzema, but indeed his performance was used at Juventus and Atletico so that in terms of actual performance he was not too bad, it was just that the quality improvement was still a little lacking.

Elite clubs will tabled offers for the Spaniard this summer following the outstanding performance he recorded. Morata keen on a possible move this summer? He's an amazing player and he have more time to play football, he's still fit and ready to pick up challenges and overcoming them shouldn't be a problem. Alvaro Morata have played for major clubs during his prime as attacker, he made impressive considerable stats and I must point out that he's simply one of the best frontline for Spain.

I don't think Morata is a bad players, but I don't also believe he should be the top striker of a serious team. He's good on and off the ball, but he's not a good finisher and team like Milan that are aspiring to win the league needs a deadly finisher up front. For Morata to be effective, he needs effective and explosive wingers that can put in balls for him from the wings. He's also good with his head so he needs those crosses. The environment Morata requires to be lethal is not ideal because it's not easy to have top class wingers and midfielders.
Hopefully, Milan knows how to use him effectively because if he's used effectively, he's a striker than cab provide 20+ goals a season in all competitions, but a team fighting for the league, needs more tgan that.

Morata is a talented striker now. Morata's performances in the Atlético Madrid jersey were quite good last season as well. However, Atletico Madrid's management made no effort to keep Morata in the squad. Even just €13 million is too little for a player as talented as Morata. Why Morata's release clause is so low is beyond me.

AC Milan will be able to strengthen their attacking division by adding Morata to the squad. But I look forward to seeing which players Atletico Madrid add to the squad for their attack. I think Atletico Madrid will probably add a young player to their squad.

I think it's a very good transfer for 13 million Euro. I don't understand why Morata's release clause was left so low, it will be a loss for Atletico for sure, they will have to spend more money to replace him. Milan, on the other hand, have replaced Giroud in a very logical way. Morata played 4 seasons for Juve, he has no problem adjusting to the Italian league. He already knows it. This undoubtedly made the transfer easier for Milan.

Morata transfer has also been completed. Milan continues its transfer season. It is unknown how Morata will play in Milan and how he will contribute. As many people say, he is a player who is not a good finisher but is very good at starting a dangerous attack. This is what Milan needs.

In fact, Morata may be a transfer that will meet their needs for the midfield. He scored 1 goal and 1 assist in the Euro Cup qualifiers last year. He is not a great goal scorer, but he has other talents that are undeniable.

If that really happens then Napoli will be the main candidate to compete with Inter Milan to win the title, unfortunately that's not possible because releasing Osimhen is an option to get money. We know that Napoli needs income to get through next season's competition on the other hand, they also need a strong striker like Osimhen then swapping Osimhen with Lukaku is the right idea meaning Napoli will get money + great striker. Now the decision is in Chelsea hands, whether they will accept this offer or take another option.

If an agreement cannot be reached then what will Napoli do? I can't believe they just let Osimhen go while they also need a striker, imagine Napoli playing with Osimhen, the results are not optimal so what if without Osimhen or Lukaku. Lukaku's market value has also continued to decline over the last 4 years this means that Chelsea will continue to lose potential if they ignore the offer from Napoli.

Chelsea really doesn't want to sell for cheap, they need the money not for financial reasons but because of the financial fair play reasons, meaning that the higher they sell, the more money they have left to spend as well, which they will need. I think because of this, they could literally sell a player, and then go ahead and spend five times more of that on some other player.

I think it's clear that we have seen what this team can do, and that's what matters. Lukaku definitely deserves a good chunk of money, but that means Napoli would basically be finished in the transfer market as well. Maybe they could get a few cheap players, maybe a few free agents, but after Lukaku and that huge amount, they can't get any other decent player.

As you have already said, there is nothing official so far, Alvaro Morata is still an Atletico Madrid player, although apparently there is the consent of the player to the transfer to Milan. Honestly I don't really like him as a player but when he wore the Juventus shirt he did good things, so he could be the right player milan have been looking for a long time

Conte had worked with Lukaku when Conte was still coaching Intermilan and he knows very well how good the quality of Lukaku has as an attacker, this is the reason why Conte wants to make Lukaku the main striker of Napoli next season, although at this time maybe Lukaku age is no longer young but his performance and sharpness in scoring goals are still very good and we can see if last season he was still able to become a mainstay of Roma,  Conte desire to sign Lukaku is not to be a backup for Osimhen later, as from the beginning of coaching Napoli, conte has known that Osimhen wants to leave Napoli and even in the latest tweet forwarded by Fabrizio Romano, Conte said that it is likely that a deal will happen for Osimhen to leave Napoli for near time.

Actually making Lukaku and Osimhen play together next season as Napoli main striker is a pretty good idea, but the situation that happens to Osimhen and Napoli is very difficult at the moment, Osimhen continues to urge Napoli to sell him to another team at the moment, while Napoli actually intends to keep him in the team next season even though there is still a possibility to sell Osimhen at a high price at the moment, Osimhen no longer has the desire to stay at Napoli while Napoli also needs money to be able to recruit Lukaku from Chelsea.

This is going to be the 2nd transfer of the Fonseca era then if I'm not wrong? First Alex Jimenez joined the team on the same day with Fonseca's arrival. Now Morata is coming.

I hope this transfer will be beneficial for Milan. Because Morata has always been an overrated player like I must have said many times already.    But if Milan was looking for a CF who can be helpful with nice pass distribution then no problem. It is the thing Morata is the best at, playing a role in creating dangerous attacks. I can't say he is a great finisher other than that. I must say once again that I'm surprised he is leaving Atletico Madrid after having a decent season.

In the short term, Lukaku is still worthy of being Osimhen's replacement, but in the long term, Lukaku will decline further because he is getting older, which will cause a decrease in productivity.
I don't know what makes Conte think so strongly about Lukaku, but for fans, Osimhen is the best choice to get better performance in the long term.

I have a little confidence that it is very likely that if Osimhen will be replaced by Lukaku, Conte will definitely make quick changes to the club's performance, but I am sure that the new coach will also have an alternative to replace Lukaku in the future.
Because it is impossible for professional coaches to choose older players over young players.

I hope that this time Osimhen will join a club that can provide more guarantees in the future because he still has a very long way to go.

AC Milan finds it difficult financially to recruit younger players, which is why they are trying to approach Alvaro Morata. Referring to Fabrizio Romana statement, Alvaro Morata move to AC Milan seems to be happening, in my opinion the Atletico Madrid striker can replace the role left by Olivier Giroud. Alvaro Moratta performance with the Spanish National Team at Euro 2024 is still very good, it is very reasonable that AC Milan wants to recruit him, even though we realize that he is already 31 years old. AC Milan is actually trying to recruit Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, but the price is very expensive, so management decided to recruit Alvaro Moratta as an alternative solution to strengthen its front line next season. Joshua Zirkzee is currently rumored to be joining Manchester United soon.

Is he a player whom they should be looking at right now?

No offense to Tammy Abraham. But him being injured almost the whole previous season is not good for any club that actually wants to get him. However I guess when you are looking at a player who is only 26 years old, and if you are actually getting a good deal for him, it is probably a good idea to get him. Let’s make one thing clear, even though he missed the majority of the last season, he is still not a bad player. There is a very good chance that he will be able to contribute a lot to his team. So I understand why Milan is looking for him. The main question is going to be about the money.

Osimhen may be ready to be sold, but seeing his condition which becomes easily injured so offered at a high price becomes not linear with the goal, a lot of people want Osimhen with his abilities but the price offered for Osimhen is very high and that should be in this season the price of Osimhen has decreased significantly because in the previous season he had no achievements, especially Napoli experienced a decline in performance to fall deeper than the previous Serie A winner.

Regarding Lukaku even though he has a lot of trips in the Serie A Club but in view of his performance decreasing from season to season, he does not have the ability to boost a team that is not solid, most of his games are also not so fast and not as sharp as in his prime, the consequences in using Lukaku may exist if you really want to recruit him to replace Osimhen's position, and yes he is currently at Osimhen's level as an attacker.

A few days ago it was circulating that Atletico Madrid was preparing to sell Alvaro Morata, but I thought maybe it was just a rumor because Alvaro Morata had a pretty good performance with Atletico Madrid. However, with this news circulating now, I am starting to think that they are serious when they say they are ready to sell Alvaro Morata in the current transfer market. AC Milan, which is also interested in this player, did not want to wait long and immediately took an approach to get this player.
AC Milan does need several additional players to help them on the front lines, but on the other hand, they currently don't seem to be spending a lot of money and will only recruit a few players, including one of them, Alvaro Morata. Morata himself seems to agree that AC Milan wants to work with him and now it seems that a deeper approach is starting to be taken. So like you, in the next few days we will hear an official announcement.

NAPOLI is struggling. They fell apart after Spalletti's spell. They're betting on Conte. Conte is a winner, but he declined earlier. Why the rethink? Napoli's potential may be blinding him, or their rich bids from Juventus and Bayern may have dried up. So Osimhen? Get him for 130 million? In this sector? An enormous risk. These high prices are risky, but some clubs get lucky. Naples is all-in. A daring, possibly insane move. It may be a great comeback or a disaster. If Conte can use his sorcery and someone pays a king's ransom for Osimhen, all depends

Napoli plays tomorrow in a friendly game, although these games are not taken very seriously by bettors, they are important for the coaches to evaluate each player and do some tests on the formations that best suit the team, by this I mean that if Osimhen If he fails to be in good condition in these friendly games and doesn't play in them, the coach will be looking for other players who can replace him, and if any player manages to replace Osimhen well, then the coach when the series A games start will have a greater probability of putting this player and Osimhen staying on the bench, so far Napoli is dependent on him, but I think that with the new coach, things have changed. I see Osimhen's future not being very good next season

after the disastrous campaign that Milan had last season, I say disastrous campaign because they didn't manage to win the title, but they ended up in a position that allows them to go into the European champions league, Milan want to sign Álvaro Morata, looking at the photo of Álvaro Morata with the Milan shirt

We can conclude that in the next few days he will be a Milan player, but I wonder if Milan's attack will improve much. because I honestly see that no, Milan should focus on having very effective players in attack if they want to win Serie A and they need to improve in defense, I hope the new coach can perform well

With the appointment of Conte as the new manager, it is hoped that Napoli performance next season will be better and more consistent. Napoli is absent from playing in European competitions, just like Juventus last season, it should be easier for Napoli to recover because they only focus on domestic competitions. Conte is not busy with the busy schedule of matches in European competitions, which is an opportunity that should be utilized well to compete in Serie A. Indeed, becoming a team challenging for the Scudetto will certainly not be easy, because Conte will need time to adapt in the season. his first.

Conte can at least lead Napoli to compete in the top four of the standings, and end the season there, and secure a ticket to the Champions League. Napoli needs great luck if they have the ambition to win the Scudetto next season, because the presence of Inter, Juventus and Milan will make it difficult for any team to lead the top of the standings. Expectations for Napoli have indeed improved after Conte's arrival, but Napoli efforts to recover do not only depend on Conte alone, but on the depth of the squad they have built. Rumors of Osimhen transfer are still hotly discussed, and so far Napoli have not succeeded in selling him.
