According to reports from Italian media, AC Milan and Galatasaray are on the verge of finalizing an agreement to end Alvaro Morata`s loan spell, paving the way for the Spanish forward to join Como.
The Gazzetta dello Sport claims that after extended negotiations between the clubs involved, the prolonged Morata transfer saga appears to be reaching its conclusion, with the striker set to move to Como.
Como Preparing to Welcome Experienced Striker
Morata was a prime target for Como this transfer window as the club aims to build on their successful return to Serie A last season. The Spanish international brings valuable experience, having previously played alongside Como`s head coach Cesc Fabregas for both Chelsea and the Spanish national team.
Reports suggest the transfer fee will be approximately €10 million. Galatasaray is likely to receive compensation from Milan once Morata`s move to Como is finalized.
The former Atletico Madrid and Chelsea striker had been on loan at Galatasaray since January. However, when Como expressed interest this summer, Milan accepted a proposal from the side coached by Fabregas. This necessitated discussions with Galatasaray about terminating the player`s loan agreement, which the Turkish club was initially reluctant to do.
Morata`s arrival would represent a significant boost for Como as they look to establish themselves in Italy`s top flight. His partnership with Fabregas both on and off the pitch could prove crucial in the club`s ambitions for the upcoming season.
