Morata Joins Como on Loan
Spanish forward Álvaro Morata will be donning the colours of Como for the upcoming season, having been officially signed from AC Milan on a loan arrangement confirmed on Tuesday. This loan is structured with a future obligation for Como to retain Morata permanently if certain contingencies are fulfilled.
Morata’s Excitement and Commitment
Expressing his excitement about the move, Morata stated: “I am thrilled to have joined Como. My experience playing against them last season allowed me to see the ambition and potential of the team firsthand. I assure both the fans and the club that I will commit fully during every training session and match, and I look forward to representing Como on the pitch.”
Previous Loan at Galatasaray
Previously, the 32-year-old had been on loan at Galatasaray until January 2026 after his transfer from Atlético Madrid, but the agreement was terminated prematurely to facilitate his transfer to Como.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Morata thanked Galatasaray supporters while expressing disappointment towards the club, emphasizing that his professional contractual terms were not respected. He pointed out that certain promises made to him were not fulfilled, leading him to relinquish part of his income and rights, which he considers fundamentally unfair. He stated, “To me, upholding personal rights is vital in both life and work, and I could not accept the breach of trust from Galatasaray.”
Contributions at Galatasaray
At Galatasaray, Morata significantly contributed to the team by scoring six goals in 12 league matches, ultimately aiding them in securing the Super Lig title. Now, he becomes the sixth Spanish player to join Como’s squad, under the mentorship of Cesc Fàbregas, a former teammate on the Spanish national team.
Fàbregas’ Praise for Morata
Fàbregas shared his admiration for Morata, noting his intelligence on the field and ability to rise to critical challenges: “I’ve known Álvaro for many years, and I’ve always respected him as a player and as a person. His addition to our team is a great benefit, bringing invaluable experience to our side, especially after last season’s 10th place finish.”
Morata’s Career Highlights
Morata’s impressive career began at Real Madrid before a notable move to Juventus in 2014, where he won multiple trophies, including two Serie A titles and numerous other accolades with both clubs, showcasing his impact in some of Europe’s top leagues, including a stint at Chelsea in the Premier League.
