Manchester United have made a ‘very important offer’ for Alvaro Morata, the Real Madrid striker’s agent has said.
United have been heavily linked with the 24-year-old Spain international as they look to add attacking reinforcements to cover the loss of last season’s top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Morata’s agent, Juanma Lopez, revealed that free-spending AC Milan have also shown an interest in the former Juventus hitman.
But Lopez says Madrid have rejected an ‘unsatisfactory’ offer from the Italian giants.
Morata’s representative told www.calciomercato.com of United: ‘It’s a club with a lot charm, a very interesting option.
‘I can say that there’s a very important offer and the decision now rests with Real. I cannot tell (if an agreement is close), we’ll see.’
Regarding Milan’s interest, Lopez added: ‘I can confirm there had been regular contact until a few days ago.
‘Quite simply, Real Madrid considered the offer from the Rossoneri unsatisfactory.’
United appear to be front-runners for Morata’s signature and the forward would surely boost Mourinho’s attack having netted 22 times last season in all competitions.
