Álvaro Morata set for yet another transfer
Spanish international Álvaro Morata is set to be on the move once more over the weeks ahead. That's according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Serie A outfit Como as the frontman's impending landing spot. Morata is for his part currently in the midst of a loan spell away from parent club AC Milan. After joining the Rossoneri in the summer of 2024, the 32-year-old lasted just six months, before departing on a year-long loan to Turkish heavyweights Galatasaray. With Gala on the verge of closing a deal for Napoli standout Victor Osimhen, however, Morata will soon find himself surplus to requirements in Istanbul. In turn, it should not come as a major surprise to hear of the experienced goalscorer preparing for yet another new chapter in his career. As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano: 'Álvaro Morata, now set to join Como from Galatasaray as soon as all documents for Osimhen deal will be signed next week. Morata has been waiting for Como for one month… and now, all set.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Morata set to join Como once Osimhen completes Galatasaray move
Victor Osimhen's permanent move to Galatasaray means Alvaro Morata will join Como. Osimhen's permanent transfer to Galatasaray will pave the way for Morata's move to Como. Details behind Osimhen's permanent Galatasaray transfer Football Italia exclusively reported on Sunday that Galatasaray and Napoli had reached an agreement over Osimhen's permanent transfer to Turkey in a €75m deal, with the full fee to be paid by the summer of 2026. Napoli will also retain a 10% sell-on clause and have agreed that Galatasaray will not be allowed to sell Osimhen to another Serie A club for the next two years. Once all the paperwork is complete, Galatasaray will approve Morata's move to Como via Milan, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Morata set to join Como via Milan Morata is currently on loan at Gala until the end of the year, December 31, 2025, but he'll terminate his temporary spell in Istanbul and join Como from Milan.

Frustrated Morata training with Galatasaray as Como and Milan wait
Alvaro Morata has started pre-season training with Galatasaray today, as Milan and Como have still not been able to resolve the loan impasse. The centre-forward was spotted at their training camp today working alongside his teammates for the Istanbul club. 🎥 Davinson Sánchez ve Álvaro Morata, Kemerburgaz Metin Oktay Tesisleri'nde! 🤩 — Galatasaray SK (@GalatasaraySK) July 15, 2025 It was not where he expected to be at this stage of the summer, considering he had accepted a transfer to Como last month as part of a double deal with Milan defender Malick Thiaw for a total €40m. Morata forced to start training with Galatasaray Only last week, we reported he had sent his personal belongings back to Madrid and was not attending pre-season training. Before it could be completed, he first had to terminate the loan experience at Galatasaray early by mutual consent and that has proved to be extremely difficult. The 32-year-old joined Galatasaray from Milan in February on loan for €6m until January 2026. The Turkish team have an obligation to buy for €8m in January 2026, or can extend the loan by another six months and purchase him for €9m in June 2026. Thiaw's refusal to join Como further complicated matters, meaning it was now just a deal with Milan involving Morata.

Alvaro Morata links up with former Spain teammate in Serie A return
Former Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata will be back in Serie A next season but with a new challenge. The 32-year-old has endured a frustrating 2025 on the back of a superb 2024 as he captained Spain to the UEFA Euro 2024 title. In a bold move, he opted to leave Atletico Madrid and join AC Milan ahead of the 2024/25 season in a move he later admitted regret over making. After struggling for consistency at the San Siro, he was loaned to Galatasaray mid-season, and won the Turkish title. However, Galatasaray are not looking to keep him, and there is no place back at AC Milan, as he options begin to narrow. Image via AFP. Morata is no stranger to moving around and he is on course for another change as former Spain teammate Cesc Fabregas looks to lure him to Como. Fabregas enjoyed a solid first-ever season coaching in Serie A and reports from Marca indicate he wants to bring in Morata on a season-long loan for 2025/26 to add experience to his attack. Morata is open to the change, if AC Milan can agree a wage sharing package with Como for the next 12 months, as he aims to lead Spain's attack at the World Cup in 2026. Luis de la Fuente has consistently backed Morata as his captain, after some poor recent showings for the national side, and a missed penalty in their Nations League final loss to Portugal. De la Fuente admitted he is unsure if Morata will be involved in September's camp, as World Cup qualification kicks off, with the decision left to his No.7. If Fabregas can reignited him, Morata's role with Spain remains vital, as the focal point in between the electric duo of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams in the La Roja front line.
