Moratas father in Madrid over move to Manchester United.

Alvaro Morata’s move to Manchester United appears to be edging closer after the striker’s agent and father attended talks with Real Madrid on Monday.

Reports in Spain claim Juanma Lopez and Alfonso Morata turned up at Real’s offices at around noon local time for a meeting with club officials.

The session lasted just under an hour, according to AS.

Morata, valued at around £70million by Madrid, is a top transfer target for United this summer.

However, the Red Devils have yet to agree a price for the 24-year-old, who scored 20 goals in 43 appearances last season.

News of the meeting between Lopez and Real adds to the momentum behind the potential transfer.

Last week, it was claimed that the former Juventus frontman took time out from his honeymoon to fly back to Spain in an effort to accelerate the process.

He is said to want more first-team football despite his love for Real, where he came through the youth-team ranks prior to his move to Juve.
