Alvaro Morata has joined Como on loan from AC Milan. Initially, he was to play for Galatasaray in the first half of the 2025-26 season, but that agreement was cancelled by mutual consent to facilitate his move to Como. Morata's career includes stints at Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid, with notable experience in Italy's Serie A through Juventus.
Morata has played 146 Serie A matches for Juventus and Milan, scoring 40 goals and assisting 28 times. His achievements include two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia win, two Champions League victories with Madrid, and a Europa League title at Chelsea. At Como, he becomes the club's 12th summer signing alongside players like Jesus Rodriguez and Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn.

The deal with Como is a loan with an obligation to buy. Morata expressed his excitement about joining the Italian side. "I'm really happy to have arrived in Como," he shared on the club's website. He also mentioned his eagerness to start playing for them and promised fans his utmost effort in every game.
Reflecting on past encounters with Como, Morata noted their ambition and project potential. He assured fans of his dedication: "I promise the fans and the club that I will give 200% in every training session and every match." He is eager to don the team's jersey soon.
Morata has earned 86 caps for Spain, scoring 37 goals. He reunites with head coach Cesc Fabregas at Como; they were teammates at Chelsea. Fabregas praised Morata's character and intelligence as assets for the team this season.
"I've known Alvaro for many years," said Fabregas. "I've always admired the way he plays and the way he carries himself." He described Morata as an intelligent striker who excels under pressure and motivates those around him. Fabregas expressed delight at having him join Como.
This transfer marks a significant addition to Como's squad as they aim to strengthen their performance in upcoming matches. With Morata's experience and skill set, both fans and management are hopeful about what lies ahead for the team.
