Morata reportedly chose Milan for reasons other than money or prestige, according to Santi Canizares, who suggests national team criticism was once worse.

Santi Canizares, the former Spain goalkeeper, has commented on Alvaro Morata’s decision to return to Italy to join AC Milan.

In an interview with Radio Marca, the ex-Spain shot-stopper shared his thoughts on the transfer.

“Morata has everything in life. One cannot seek more money or more prestige after making such a decision,” Canizares remarked during the interview.

He emphasised that Morata’s choice to move to AC Milan is driven by factors beyond financial or reputational gains.

Canizares further highlighted, “It’s a decision made from the heart and for the love of football.”

His statements shed light on the deeper motivations behind Morata’s transfer, portraying it as a move rooted in passion rather than profit.

The former goalkeeper’s comments have resonated with many football fans and pundits, casting a positive light on Morata’s commitment to the sport.
