Madrid will ask Morata admirers to pay top dollar for the player

According to reports in England, Morata has already agreed personal terms with United; now all that remains is for both clubs to reach middle ground about the price of the transfer. Real Madrid don't want to let Morata leave on the cheap and will ask for 90 million euros. The club believes that the 24-year-old has enjoyed a great season - ending as the team's second top scorer with 20 goals in just 1,872 minutes' playing time, averaging a goal every 93 minutes; also, other clubs are keen on signing him, including Chelsea and PSG. Madrid would put aside part of the transfer fee for Morata to finance the signing of Kylian Mbappé, who could cost them an astronomical 130 million euros. As it stands, United are not willing to go to 90 million to get their man.
