Como 1907 Nears Deal for Álvaro Morata Amid Complex Negotiations

Italian Serie A newcomers Como 1907 are on the verge of securing Spanish striker Álvaro Morata, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. The deal, reported late Sunday, hinges on finalizing compensation with Galatasaray, where Morata is currently on loan from AC Milan. Negotiations have been protracted, with Como and Morata already reaching an agreement in principle, but Galatasaray’s approval remains the critical hurdle.

Morata, earning a reported €25 million annually at Galatasaray per Capology’s 2025-2026 salary data, has been a standout performer, making his potential departure a significant talking point. Como, backed by the wealthy Hartono brothers since their 2024 takeover, aims to bolster their squad with high-profile signings under manager Cesc Fàbregas. The club’s rapid rise from the lower tiers to Serie A has been fueled by strategic investments, and Morata’s addition could signal their ambition to challenge the league’s elite.

The transfer’s complexity stems from Galatasaray’s demand for a fee, a rare scenario in loan deals. Sources indicate Como is prepared to meet the financial terms, with an announcement potentially coming this week if all parties align. This move could reshape Como’s season and Morata’s career trajectory.
