Al Hilal have opened negotiations with Atletico Madrid over a lucrative deal for Spain international striker Alvaro Morata.

The most successful club in the Saudi Arabian Pro League, Al Hilal have launched a bold recruitment drive which has already seen them sign Ruben Neves from Wolves for £47m and they are finalising a £20m move for Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

They have now opened discussions with Atletico Madrid over a £20m deal for Morata fresh off the back of his Nations League finals win with Spain.
