Alvaro Morata in talks over surprise move to Como | OneFootball

Serie A club Como are in talks to sign AC Milan striker Alvaro Morata this summer (h/t journalist Fabrizio Romano).

The Spaniard joined Milan in a €13 million deal last summer but was loaned out to Galatasaray just after six months.

The Turkish giants have multiple buy options for Morata, whose loan runs until January next year, but the former Juventus star is eager to terminate his contract prematurely.

Morata does not want to stay at Milan, despite manager Massimiliano Allegri’s plans to count on him next season.  The Rossoneri are willing to offload the 32-year-old to generate funds for new signings.

They have lined up Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic as the top striker target in the summer transfer window.

Como manager Cesc Fabregas has been in talks with Morata to convince him to join the club. They previously played together at Chelsea.

Morata has endured difficult spells at Atletico Madrid and Milan in recent years.

His penalty miss in Spain’s defeat against Portugal in the Nations League final earlier this month compounded his misery.

However, he showcased his quality in Gala’s Super Lig title success last season, bagging six goals and three assists in 12 games.

His contributions to Spain are also noteworthy. He is the fourth-highest scorer with 37 goals in La Roja’s history and played a key role in the European Championship triumph last year.

Fabregas has been doing an impressive job at Como with an exciting squad. He led them to a 10th-place finish in Serie A last season whilst playing an attractive brand of football.

He is looking to take Como to new heights by bringing in Morata.
