United bid for Morata rejected

It is understood that Real Madrid have rejected United’s  £52.4m bid to sign striker Alvaro Morata this Summer.

Morata could leave Real Madrid

United goalkeeper David de Gea was not included in the offer and it is believed that Real Madrid want £72m alone for the Spaniard striker. The Spanish striker bagged 20 goals all season for Real Madrid and helped the club win La Liga when Zidane asked him to perform.

It is believed that United will be in chase for Andrea Belotti from Torino, if they fail to bring Morata from Real Madrid. However Belotti has around £85m on his release clause and pursuing him would not be a cheap deal.

However Real Madrid could use David De Gea agreement as bait to bring the striker, but rumors surrounds that they are interested to keep their number one stopper at Old Trafford this summer.

Real Madrid are also linked with James Rodriguez as the Colombian midfielder is not happy with Real Madrid despite winning two Champions league with the club.
