Zlatan Ibrahimovic was Manchester United’s top scorer last season but the retired Swedish international will not be at Old Trafford next season.
According to reports (BBC), the Red Devils have opted not to sign another contract with the former Barcelona star and he has been released.
Jose Mourinho needs a top striker to replace Zlatan and reports suggest that United want Spanish star Alvaro Morata.
According to Telegraph, the 24-year-old center forward has agreed personal terms in principle with Manchester United, who are now negotiating a fee with the European Champions. United hope that £60million would be enough to lure him.
As per Guardian, Real Madrid rejected an initial offer worth £52million and United are now set to make an improved bid of £60million. However, Morata has a contract with the Los Blancos until 2021 and they want around 90 million euros from his sale (£79million).
The former Juventus star was mainly a bench warmer for Real under the management of Zinedine Zidane last season. He could only start 14 times in league but still managed to directly contribute in 20 goals (15 goals and 5 assists).
As per the provided Telegraph link, the La Roja striker has told his friends that he expects to be playing with the Red Devils next season. We shall see how the transfer saga unfolds in the coming days.
