Alvaro Morata reportedly did not return from Spain for training with Galatasaray, as he urges them to release him from the Milan loan so he can join Como.
According to Turkish transfer pundit Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the 32-year-old did not come back on schedule from his vacation in Spain and skipped training.
This could be a significant step in trying to force through his desired transfer back to Italy.
Alvaro Morata joins Galatasaray
The striker agreed personal terms with Como and expressed his enthusiasm for the Cesc Fabregas project weeks ago, while Milan were also content to let him move within Serie A.
The problem is that he only joined Galatasaray in January on a paid loan to January 2026 at a cost of €6m with obligation to buy for €8m.
Not only are the Turkish side refusing to accept under €6m to release Morata from the loan, but there are also increasing reports they want to keep hold of him for this season while Mauro Icardi continues the recovery process from a serious knee injury.
