Álvaro Morata Completes Move To Como From AC Milan After Galatasaray Loan Ends

Álvaro Morata has joined Como from AC Milan. His loan at Galatasaray ended, and now he is with coach Cesc Fàbregas again. A report confirmed that Morata’s contract with Como is set to last until 2028 with an option for 2029, indicating the club’s commitment to his role in their future plans .

WHAT HAPPENED?

Como got Morata on loan with a promise to buy later. They paid around €3 million plus bonuses to end his Galatasaray loan early, with an agreement in place for a total fee of approximately €10 million for a permanent transfer . Morata had uncertain playing time at Milan and limited chances in Turkey, so this change is welcome.

WHY COMO MOVED

Como needed an experienced striker to strengthen their attack after finishing 10th in Serie A last season. Morata, now 32 years old, played for AC Milan in the first half of last season and joined Galatasaray in February but faced competition with new striker arrivals. Now, he joins old teammate Fàbregas and Spanish recruits as Como tries to rise in Serie A .

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Morata’s career spans clubs like Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Milan, and Galatasaray. He remains a prolific goal-scorer, having netted 13 goals and provided seven assists in 41 appearances while on loan at Galatasaray. For Como, Morata signals ambition to push from mid-table to competitive European play . For Milan, this move reduces a crowded forward line, while Galatasaray’s finances align with their reshaped attacking plans.

WHAT NEXT?

Como aim to improve on their 10th place finish from last season as they aim for European spots. Morata is expected to debut in their first Serie A match of the season when they face Lazio, who finished 7th last season and may be fighting with them for European qualification. The club finished sixteen points off sixth last season and now targets stronger goal returns. With both teams starting on zero points, Como must settle Morata to build early momentum.
