Morata, a complicated case for Cesc Fàbregas and Como?
Everything seemed set for Álvaro Morata to join Cesc Fàbregas' Como 1907. But as the days go by, the deal is becoming increasingly tricky.
Galatasaray, who holds the option to buy the Spaniard, is throwing a wrench into the works. On loan from AC Milan to the Istanbul club until January 2026, Morata is no longer in control of his immediate future. Although Galatasaray has not yet exercised the purchase option, they are now demanding financial compensation to release the player, estimated at over €9 million (€6M transfer fee + €3M salary).
Álvaro Morata did not take part in Galatasaray’s training session yesterday.

The catch? The player is no longer training with the squad, but he might be forced to stay in Istanbul. It would be a default choice in a team where Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi would challenge him for every minute on the pitch.

On the other hand, Cesc is determined to bring him to Como, where Morata would return to a Serie A he knows well. But the standoff with Galatasaray could derail everything. After a month of negotiations, the Spanish international's future remains uncertain.
