Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has revealed there have been no offers from Man United for Alvaro Morata. Shaka Hislop breaks down the latest surrounding Alvaro Morata's potential move to Man United. <\/p>\n
Manchester United are making progress in their pursuit of Alvaro Morata but have yet to agree a fee with Real Madrid, sources have told ESPN FC. <\/p>\n
Manager Jose Mourinho has identified Morata as the striker he wants to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic. <\/p>\n
There is still hope a deal could be secured before United head to the United States for their preseason tour on July 9. <\/p>\n
Sources have told ESPN FC that agreeing personal terms should be straightforward because of Morata's willingness to move to Old Trafford. <\/p>\n
There had been a fear that uncertainty surrounding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo could force Madrid to stall on any deal for the Spain international. <\/p>\n
But reports in Spain suggest Ronaldo will now stay at the Bernabeu while Marca, which has close ties to president Florentino Perez, reported that the Spanish champions are set to push on with a bid for Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe. <\/p>\n
French newspaper L'Equipe reported on Friday that Zinedine Zidane, once Mbappe's idol, called the striker to convince him to join Madrid said they were ready to sell one of their \"BBC\" stars to make room for him. <\/p>\n
Mbappe's arrival would further limit opportunities for Morata, who made only 14 La Liga starts last season. <\/p>\n
The striker, who returned to Real Madrid last summer after two seasons at Juventus, scored 20 goals in 43 appearances last term. <\/p>\n
There has been no offer for him from Chelsea, who are also in the market for a striker with Diego Costa set to depart and have been linked with Everton's Romelu Lukaku. <\/p>\n
United also have an interest in Andrea Belotti, although Torino have said a 100 million buyout clause in his contract -- only available to clubs outside Italy -- must be met before the 23-year-old is allowed to leave. <\/p>\n
