If Manchester United fans needed proof of just how desperate Alvaro Morata is to sign with them, then they have to take a look at the following paragraphs.
The Spanish striker, who became a key element for Real Madrid's La Liga and UEFA Champions League titles, chose to cut short his honeymoon to seal a deal with the English side. His wife, Alice Campello, will wait for the striker's return to Ibiza, which will happen once all papers are signed.
According to Spanish newspaper As, Real Madrid have placed a £70M price tag on the home grown striker, who scored 15 goals in La Liga for the current La Liga title holders.

Manchester United closing in on Nainggolan
While Alvaro Morata's deal seems to be a lock, the Red Devils are still trying to boost their midfield with Belgian midfielder Radja Nainggolan. Jose Mourinho has made it a priority to add some talent to the team's waist, and his long-time target could arrive to Old Trafford this summer.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United is willing to offer up to £40 million for the midfielder, who's well-known for his intense style of play and ball handling skills. José Mourinho tried to lure him away to Stamford Bridge during his final season at Chelsea, but Roma wasn't ready to part ways with the Belgian. The Blues tried to sign him one more time last summer, but Nainggolan respectfully declined that option.
Nainggolan's arrival to Old Trafford will be sorted out in the followiing weeks, as the Red Devils are also keen on signing Nemanja Matic, a player Jose Mourinho knows very well from his time at Chelsea.
