Alvaro Morata fancies trying his luck at the Italian capital, but the shortage of euros could break all the deals
A severe knee ligament injury will keep Tammy Abraham out of action for the next nine months at least, which is why AS Roma are forced to look for some reinforcements definitely.
Along with West Ham's Gianluca Scamacca, the Giallorossi are apparently very interested in experienced Alvaro Morata. They are targeting not one but two strikers following Andrea Belotti's miserable season, during which he netted just four goals across all competitions (not a single one in the Serie A!).

To put it simply, Jose Mourinho wants a striker (or two) who can find the back of the net.
So, that's why The Special One turned to Morata.
The 30-year-old Spaniard is once again at the exit door at Atletico Madrid, only this time, it seems it could be permanent. His former Juventus teammate Paulo Dybala told him a few nice things about Rome, the club itself and Mourinho.
Due mesi di lavoro sottotraccia. Ora si entra nella fase decisiva per #Morata.

Abraham out 9 mesi.
Belotti zero gol in A.
La #Roma vuole due attaccanti (Scamacca ha già accordo).

And Morata, as things stand, is very pleased with the idea of coming to Rome, and he would even accept a reduced salary compared to one at Madrid (from 6,000,000 at Atletico to 4,500,000 at Roma). But there's a different problem there, just around the corner...
The majority of Italian media are not convinced the UEFA Europa League runners-up can find the money for Morata's buyout clause. It's around 25,000,000, and that is why the Giallorossi want to find a sort of compromise with Los Colchoneros. Maybe even a loan, which would be third in his career (from Chelsea to Atletico, and from Atletico to Juventus).
All in all, everything now depends on Atletico and Cholo Simeone's willingness to let go of the striker he trusts so much.
