Roma to meet Atletico over Morata deal

Roma general manager Tiago Pinto will meet with Alvaro Morata’s agents on Monday for talks over a potential deal, according to Sky in Italy.

The Serie A club is keen on the 30-year-old, who spent the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons on loan with Juventus before returning to Atletico Madrid last season.

Atletico are believed not to want to sell Morata, or even let him leave on loan, and negotiations will centre on a release clause in his current contract.

His representatives, according to Sky in Italy, believe the clause will allow Morata for less than £8.5m while the club insist he cannot leave for under £18m.
