Álvaro Morata Agrees to Join Como in Serie A Return

WHAT HAPPENED?

Álvaro Morata has said ‘yes’ to Como FC as he prepares for a return to Serie A. The final details of his loan move still need to be sorted between Galatasaray and AC Milan, but Morata now knows where he wants to go next.

In Como, Morata will find friends and familiar faces in the project led by coach Cesc Fabregas. The Italian club is offering Morata a chance to be a leading figure as they strive to strengthen their squad. Morata is excited at the prospect of joining Como and taking on a fresh challenge.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Morata, 32, is under contract with AC Milan until 2028. He spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Galatasaray, scoring six goals in 11 Turkish Super Lig appearances. As his loan spell with Galatasaray has expired, he is set to return to AC Milan—unless the possibility of joining Como convinces him otherwise.

The former Chelsea star is keen to join the project of his close friend Fabregas at Como and is currently waiting for the club to finalise his loan signing.

WHAT NEXT?

Como FC finished 10th in Serie A last season. If they complete Morata’s signing, his presence could prove crucial as the club aims to finish in the top four and qualify for European competitions next season.
