Morata linked with Milan again as Rossoneri step up search for new striker

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is being linked with Milan again as the Rossoneri step up their search for a new striker.

According to Leggo, Milan will not exercise their €36m option to buy Gonzalo Higuain at the end of the season, freeing up a move for Morata.

The Spaniard was a target for the Diavolo in each of the last two summers and has struggled since his €70m transfer to Chelsea over a year ago.

Failing that, the San Siro side also ‘like’ Genoa starlet Christian Kouame, who has shown promise in his debut Serie A campaign.

Tuttosport, meanwhile, agrees Milan will prioritise a swoop for Fabio Quagliarella next month after they missed out on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

However, the newspaper claims Valencia forward Michy Batshuayi and Sevilla’s Luis Muriel – both on the periphery at their respective clubs – are next in line.
