Serie A club Como has made a bold move in the transfer market, submitting a €40 million bid to acquire Alvaro Morata and Malick Thiaw from AC Milan. The ambitious offer includes €35 million as a fixed transfer fee, with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons.
Como, managed by former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, is looking to significantly strengthen their squad for the upcoming 2025-26 season. The club has already offered German defender Thiaw a lucrative contract worth €4 million per year.
While negotiations for Thiaw are progressing, the transfer of Spanish striker Morata is more complex. Milan and Como have reached an agreement, but approval is still needed from Galatasaray, where Morata is currently on loan until December 31, 2025. The Turkish club is reportedly not entirely satisfied with the negotiations between the Italian sides.
Despite this hurdle, sources close to the deal expect Galatasaray to eventually give the green light for Morata`s transfer. The potential double signing of Morata and Thiaw would be a significant coup for Como, demonstrating their ambition to compete at the highest level in Italian football.
As the transfer saga unfolds, all eyes will be on Como to see if they can successfully secure the services of these two talented AC Milan players and bolster their squad for the challenges ahead.
