Morata reveals he’s really an Atlético fan: “If I can, I go”

Álvaro Morata, fresh off his Milan announcement, made clear again where his loyalties lie. The forward, who has played for 13 different clubs, addressed the confusion that often comes with fans hearing that certain jerseys were “a dream” for him.

His club in his heart

In comments to ‘El Partidazo de Cope’, Morata stated plainly that he is an Atlético de Madrid supporter. “I’m Atlético de Madrid. I’ve said it a thousand times,” he explained, adding that he had already mentioned it before.

“If I can go, I’ll go to Atleti”

He also put his career into context: “I’m a professional and I’m grateful to the teams I’ve been at, to Real Madrid for the chance they gave me.” Still, he underlined what matters most: “But if I can go on a Sunday to watch Atleti, then I’ll go watch Atleti.”

The piece highlights that this isn’t a recent feeling. Morata began his path at Atlético at age 13, then moved two years later to Getafe’s youth setup before eventually reaching the professional ranks with Real Madrid.

Many big names, one feeling

His journey includes stints at top clubs such as Atlético and Real Madrid, along with a spell where he was a key figure for Juventus, and now the move that brings him to Milan. Mundo Deportivo also adds a striking career stat: Morata has generated €229.2m in transfer fees, making him the Spanish player who has moved the most money through transfers in history (Top 6 worldwide).
