Ibrahimovic says Morata is perfect for Milan
"Morata is a perfect example for us, as last season we had the youngest overall squad. Alvaro will also have this role off the field and we'll help him take on that responsibility."
Ibrahimovic highlighted Morata's leadership qualities, saying: "He was the captain at the Euros and a guide to his teammates, he is a winner and a champion at club and international level."
Regarding how he convinced Morata to join Milan, Ibrahimovic shared: "In order to convince him, I said I would bring him joy. I know that if you are happy off the field, you are happy on it. He is not a player who needs to grow, Alvaro is already at the top and complete."
Ibrahimovic emphasized Morata's fit with the team, saying:
"Last season the directors laid the foundations, this summer we are working on the details and Alvaro is one of those. He has the DNA of Milan and is a winner."
