negotiations underway at the Bernabeu over morata

Following a meeting that took place on Monday morning at the Santiago Bernabeu between the club and the player's father and agent, Alvaro Morata's future is very close to being decided.

The Spanish striker is well aware of the difficulty of being granted game time at the Bernabeu, despite Zidane's rotation system. The Real Madrid player wants to feel important with the Spanish champions, or in the club most interested in signing the 24-year-old: Manchester United.

The 2017/18 season is upon us, and Juanma Lopez, the player's representative, and Alfonso, his father, were called to the Bernabeu on Monday morning to discuss Morata's exit. On the table, a tempting £65 million bid from the Red Devils.

The meeting lasted around 50 minutes, as informed by Spanish outlet 'As'. The parties involved in the negotiations for the potential transfer arrived at 12 o'clock and left the Bernabeu at 12:50pm.

Morata was the second-highest goalscorer at Madrid last season, and he will not leave the club at any price. Florentino Perez will utilize the money he gets for Morata to sign Mbappe, but Jose Mourinho will not make such an exorbitant offer.
