Álvaro Morata Says Yes to Como and Awaits Club Agreement

Álvaro Morata has agreed to join Como as he plans to leave Galatasaray. Formal talks between AC Milan and the Turkish club have begun. Como’s management is waiting for both teams to settle transfer terms before proceeding with the deal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Morata, 32, recently finished a loan spell at Galatasaray, where he scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. Still under contract with AC Milan until June 2028, the Spanish international is set to leave Turkey. Milan are prepared to let him go to raise funds for new signings. Como, led by Cesc Fabregas, have already made a formal offer and started negotiations with Morata. The next step involves finalizing the exit conditions between AC Milan and Galatasaray, after which Como can proceed with their bid to bring the experienced striker back to Serie A.

According to a previous report we published, Morata scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 41 appearances for Galatasaray.

MORATA’S IMPACT AND COMO’S AMBITIONS

Como, who were newly promoted to Serie A, are eager to strengthen their attack ahead of the 2025-26 season in their second season in the Italian’s top flight. Morata brings top-level experience, having played for Juventus and Milan in Serie A, and captained Spain internationally. His addition would provide a significant boost to Como’s chances of survival and stability in Italy’s top flight.

Last season, Como secured a middle of the table finish in their first season back from the Serie B, while Galatasaray won the Turkish Süper Lig, and AC Milan ended the Serie A campaign in eighth place. Milan are now searching for a new forward who can compete with Santiago Giménez, underlining their willingness to move Morata on.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Como and Morata are waiting as AC Milan and Galatasaray negotiate the details of his exit. Once both clubs reach an agreement, Como are expected to finalize Morata’s arrival. Como’s next competitive match will be their Serie A opening fixture, while Milan continue preparations for their own new season.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, are regrouping in time for a new season, with their next target being the Champions League qualifiers. With Morata’s future nearly settled, attention turns to whether he can inspire Como in their second top-flight season in over two decades.
