Transfer: AC Milan's Alvaro Morata Heads to Como
AC Milan Striker Alvaro Morata Moves to Como on Loan Deal with Obligation to Buy
Football transfer news: Alvaro Morata, the striker for AC Milan, has agreed to join Como on a season-long loan deal with an obligation to complete a permanent transfer next summer. The move was confirmed on July 28, 2025.
The total transfer package fee for Morata's move to Como is reported to be under €10 million. The journalist Fabrizio Romano reported the news, stating that the fee is close to €5m.
Morata's loan at Galatasaray, which was set to last until January 2026, was cut short by mutual agreement to allow this move. The 32-year-old Spanish international expressed enthusiasm for joining Como and promised to give his maximum effort for the club.
During his time at Galatasaray, Morata won the Turkish Super Liga and the Turkish Cup in the 2024-25 season. However, he publicly criticized the club for failing to honor contractual commitments during his stay there.
The next steps in the transfer process involve medical authorization and travel arrangements to complete the signing. It's worth noting that this is a direct transfer, not a temporary loan without an obligation to buy.
Contrary to some previous reports, Morata's move to Como does not involve a transfer to Cesc Fabregas's side. The transfer process for Morata to Como does not involve a transfer to any other team at this time.
Morata joined AC Milan in 2024 and spent the second half of the 2023-24 season on loan at Galatasaray. His decision to join Como was personal, as he specifically wanted to play for the club. The transfer also includes a compensation deal with Galatasaray.
Morata, aged 32, expressed his gratitude to the Galatasaray fans and promised to give his maximum effort for Como. He looks forward to contributing to the team's success in the upcoming season.
