Real Madrid not negotiating with Man United over Alvaro Morata - Perez

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has told "El Primer Palo" that no negotiations have taken place with Manchester United about Alvaro Morata, although he suggested he is aware that the striker's representatives have been speaking with the Premier League club.

Morata, 24, has been heavily linked with a move to United in recent weeks, with the Spain international's agent Juanma Lopez having said his client could leave Madrid this summer to gain more regular football.

Recent reports in both Spain and England have claimed that personal terms have been agreed with United, but Madrid are holding out for a fee of at least €80 million for a player who scored 20 goals despite limited playing time last season.
