This was his debut with Milan

The debut of Alvaro Morata (31) for his new team, AC Milan, has come in the midst of a storm over his breakup with the mother of his four children, Alice Campello (29). A separation that both confirmed this Monday after seven years of marriage, and insisting that there were no third parties involved after rumors that pointed to a possible infidelity on the part of the former Atleti and Real Madrid player.

The captain of La Roja took to the pitch at San Siro on Tuesday for the first time as a new Milan player.His debut came in a friendly match and his team won 3-1 against Monza. The Rossoneri ended their pre-season with the Berlusconi Trophy. Morata, who played the first half, came onto the pitch with a smile. When things get bad, you know what they say… a happy face..

Morata was presented as a new player of the Italian team last Friday, August 9, and it was already striking that Alice Campello and his four children, Alessandro and Leonardo (5), Edoardo (3) and little Bella, who was born in January of last year, were not with him. However, nothing foreshadowed the end of their marriage, especially if we take into account the cloying images of both of them celebrating the Euro Cup won by Spain in mid-July.

However, late on Sunday, rumours began to spread when everything on social media pointed to a crisis due to Campello’s actions on Instagram (she removed her husband’s surname and hid some photos). After she denied the rumours, early on Monday Morata rushed to release a statement announcing the separation and she followed suit with another post. They did not issue a joint statement, something that has already attracted attention.

The player, after his last stormy stage at Atlético de Madrid, chose Italy as his new destination because it is the land of the mother of his children. A country where his children are happy and where, in addition, he previously played for Juventus. Now, the stage that lies ahead is very different… Although they insist that they are still a family for the sake of their children and reiterate time and again that there are no third parties or disrespect… Such a sudden separation… leaves a lot up in the air…
