Morata’s most prolific spell at a club came during his two-years at Atleticobetween 2022-2024, technically his third spell at the club, scoring 36 goals in 93 games.
He then left the club to join AC Milanwhere he struggled to make much of an impact before being shipped out on loan to Galatasaray.
Currently still under contract AC Milan, Morata was clearly feeling nostalgic about his career, admitting that leaving Atletico was his “biggest mistake.”
“My decision to leave Atletico Madrid was the biggest mistake of my career. I would trade all the titles I’ve won for just one with Atletico – just one. Atletico is a club I love. I was very happy there,” he told Mario Suarez.
