Spain striker Alvaro"? Morata has warned Arsenal that he will cost them £6m-per-year in wages, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
This would mean a weekly wage of around £115k for his services. It would also mean the Spanish talisman would be the third highest earner at the club, behind Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.
The Juventus forward has been linked with a move to the Emirates after his goal-scoring exploits in Serie A attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, along with his former employers, Real Madrid.
The striker, who scored the winner in the Coppa Italia final last month against AC Milan, had another impressive season in Turin, scoring 12 goals and providing 12 assists in all competitions.
Arsene Wenger is reportedly in the market for a striker this summer and Morata is seemingly top of the Frenchman's shortlist should he become realistically available.
It is understood, however, that there will be no concrete move for the attacker until Euro 2016 has concluded, allowing Morata to concentrate fully on helping his country retain the European Championship title which they won in 2012.
It is rumoured that Chelsea are also interested in the Spaniard as incoming boss Antonio Conte gears up for an assault on the Premier League title. Despite his hefty fee, Morata would still be more affordable than Wenger's other summer transfer target, Jamie Vardy.
Leicester City's star man has been on Arsenal's radar since May but the 29-year-old's release clause "?recently increased by £10m, causing Wenger to take a step back in his efforts to sign the England striker.
