Álvaro Morata wants a do-over. The Spanish striker told Cadena SER and El Larguero that his summer 2024 transfer from Atlético Madrid to AC Milan was the biggest regret of his career, a decision he says was driven by personal turmoil and a gnawing sense of being undervalued.
“If I could go back in time, I would never have left Atlético,” Morata said. He went further, claiming he would swap every title he’s ever lifted for just one won in the red and white stripes of Atlético Madrid.
A transfer everyone saw coming except him
AC Milan activated Morata’s release clause in the summer of 2024, paying €13 million to pry him from the Wanda Metropolitano.
Both Morata’s father and his agent reportedly advised him against the transfer. They classified it, plainly, as a mistake. Morata ignored them. He has since come to the uncomfortable realization that the people closest to him were right all along.
