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.

Report – Inter Milan Prepare €30M For Parma Star As AC Milan Waiting To Offload Malick Thiaw First AC Milan and Inter remain firmly embroiled in the race to sign Parma prodigy Giovanni Leoni this summer.

Thiaw's hesitation could return to haunt Milan, putting Inter slightly ahead in this transfer tug-of-war. Furthermore, the youngster's desire to reunite with Cristian Chivu also favors the Nerazzurri. As for Parma, they would ideally keep hold of Leoni for one more season.
