Real Madrid Price set at 90m euros

Morata's agent: Decision over Manchester United offer is with Real Madrid

Mourinho to Morata: You are going to be important here

There is no hurry or urgency on Real Madrid's part to sell Alvaro Morata, and in any event the club are clear that whoever wants to sign the striker will have to meet their asking price.

Potential purchasers must take into account that both Los Blancos and Zinedine Zidane want to keep the player.

They are more than satisfied with his performances from the 2016/17 campaign and want him to continue.

Further, Real don't actually need to sell him.

"If someone wants to take Morata, let them pay," was the message from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu that was received loud and clear.

The amount is still fixed at 90 million euros, a figure that there is little intention to lower.

A possible signing of Kylian Mbappe from Monaco can still be concluded whether or not Morata goes because Madrid already have the funds in place.

Jose Mourinho wants Morata to reinforce the attack at Manchester United and Real understand that the Red Devils have enough financial muscle for the hire.

Until 31 August

That is why, in Madrid they are clear that they will not settle for the first offer that arrives for their striker.

There is time for the deal to be done. Until August 31, to be exact.

That's a long period to discuss and negotiate with the English club, always under the premise - from Real's point of view - that the necessary conditions are met; that is, to achieve the 90m sale price or as close as possible to it.

In addition, there is another circumstance in this negotiation.

Both clubs have been affected by some events over the last couple of years, particularly the De Gea case and the episode of the fax that apparently never reached the offices of the English club.

In Madrid, despite continuing to count on the player, they are open to negotiating with Manchester United, but expect that these talks are made on a basis of mutual loyalty.
