Manchester United target Alvaro Morata marries stunning model Alice Campello in glitzy Venice bash
Real Madrid and Spain striker put transfer speculation aside for lavish wedding
ALVARO MORATA was flanked by Real Madrid team-mates for his Venice wedding to Alice Campello in Venice.
The Manchester United target was supported by defender Dani Carvajal and midfielder Isco.
The Spain star is hotly tipped to former Madrid mentor Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford but the two clubs are miles apart in their negotiations.
United made an opening bid of £65m as they see Morata as a bit-part player who completed just five La Liga matches last season, subbed on 12 times and subbed off in nine of his 14 starts.
But Madrid reckon the 15 league goals he scored – despite being behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema in the pecking order – make him worth £90m.
SunSport understands personal terms have been agreed with the Real Madrid striker on a five-year contract worth around £350,000 a week.
According to insiders, Real president Florentino Perez has told United chiefs that their willingness to pay £100m for Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann has set the bar for negotiations.

And Morata’s agent has admitted he is aware of the opportunity to take his man to the Premier League.
Juanma Lopez said: “It's a club with a lot charm, a very interesting option”
“I can say that there's a very important offer and the decision now rests with Real. we'll see.”
Morata’s wedding at the Basilica del Redentore looked almost identical to Bastian Schweinsteiger’s nuptials with tennis ace Ana Ivanovic in July 2016.
The sporty pair tied the knot TWICE, over two lavish days, once in Venice’s City Hall and the following day at the Misericordia Church.
