Spain striker Álvaro Morata has joined AC Milan on a four-year deal with the option to extend for another year, the Italian club said Friday.
The 31-year-old Morata captained Spain to the European Championship title last Sunday and joins from Spanish club Atletico Madrid, where he scored 21 goals last season.
The Rossoneri won the last of their 19 Serie A titles in 2022 and have won the Champions League seven times.
Morata has also played for Real Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea during a career in which he has scored over 200 club goals and 36 for Spain.
Milan said he has chosen to wear the No. 7 jersey.
Morata replaces Olivier Giroud in the center of Milan’s attack after the former France striker joined Los Angeles FC .
Milan is going through an overhaul after finishing 19 points behind Serie A champion Inter Milan last season, with Paulo Fonseca replacing coach Stefano Pioli .
