Como close in on Morata as Milan and Galatasaray strike deal

Milan and Galatasaray are close to reaching an agreement to terminate the loan of Alvaro Morata, reports from Italy claim, freeing up the Spanish forward to move to Como.

According to what has been reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport, after weeks of negotiations between the various clubs involved, the Morata saga may finally be over soon as the striker heads to Como.

The former Atletico Madrid and Chelsea player had been on loan with Galatasaray since January but when Como came knocking this summer, the Rossoneri accepted a proposal from Cesc Fabregas’ side. Therefore, Milan had to talk to Galatasaray about terminating the players loan, something the Turkish club were refusing to let happen easily.

As Morata saga draws to a close, Como prepare for valuable reinforcement

Morata was a top target of Como this summer, with the club looking to build on their successful return to Serie A last season. The Spanish forward is experienced and played alongside head coach Fabregas for both Chelsea and the Spanish national team.

Gazzetta report that the fee will be around €10 million and Galatasaray will likely earn a sum in compensation from the Rossoneri once Morata’s move to Como is complete.
