Como still awaits the green light for Alvaro Morata, but negotiations with Milan and Galatasaray are at a standstill. The risk now is that everyone loses out.

The Como is still waiting for their number nine. The Lombard club reached an agreement with Milan some time ago for the arrival of Alvaro Morata, and only awaits the final approval from Galatasaray to close the deal.

It was expected that with the arrival of Osimhen, the Turkish club would release the Spanish striker without much trouble, but the situation has become complicated. Galatasaray has asked for a compensation of 8 million euros to release the player: a figure that includes the 6 million spent on the loan and the salary paid so far.

Meanwhile, Morata has already expressed his desire to join Cesc Fábregas at Como, to the point that in recent days he did not show up for a training session.

Como, stalled negotiations and risk of a blow for everyone

Como has offered 5 million to release the player, but the parties remain distant and none of the three clubs involved wants to back down. Galatasaray does not intend to waive the compensation, Como does not want to spend more than planned, and Milan is waiting for the sale to cash in the agreed 10 million.

So the negotiation, which seemed almost finalized, is at risk of falling through. The danger is that in the end everyone loses out. Como, given the approaching start of the season, could be forced to change their target, Galatasaray would be left with a disgruntled player and a heavy salary to pay, while Milan, besides losing money now, could find themselves in January with a player who, despite being liked by Allegri, no longer fits into the Rossoneri’s plans.

The next few days will be crucial to understand what the future holds for Morata, but it is necessary for one of the parties to make an effort to find an agreement that satisfies everyone.
