Álvaro Morata is very close to joining Leganés on loan. According to Marcanegotiations are progressing very well between the Spanish club and Como, and optimism is now in order to reach a final agreement. The president of Leganés, Eduardo Cosín, and his sporting director, Andrés Pardo, are actively working on the file to allow the return to Spain of the 33-year-old striker. An important point remains to be resolved around his high salary: Como should take care of part of it during the duration of the loan. Morata could thus agree to go down to the Spanish second division to find playing time.
The Spanish international failed to establish himself in Cesc Fàbregas’ team at Como and his future now seems to be written far from Italy. The possible arrival of Moise Kean within the Italian club would further reduce its chances of obtaining a starting place and pushes the different parties to seek a solution before the closure of the transfer window. For Morata, who notably spent time with Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, this transfer would mark a return to his country and would offer him the possibility of regaining an important role. Discussions are now continuing to resolve the final details of the loan.
