La Liga
Álvaro Morata, a 33-year-old forward, is in talks with Leganés to assess a possible departure from Como in this final stretch of the transfer market. The Madrid club has inquired about his situation and, according to information from Sky Sports Italia and confirmed by MARCA, they seek to secure his signing for the 2026/27 season.
Álvaro Morata Emerges as a Target for Leganés
Discussions between the parties have taken place in recent days, although Leganés has not disclosed any negotiations. The pepinero team aims to add a forward, and Morata fits that profile as the team competes in Segunda División with the goal of returning to the top flight.
The main issue with the deal lies in the financial terms. Morata earns around €5 million per season at Como, a figure that exceeds the usual budget of the Madrid club. To progress, the Italian club would need to cover a substantial portion of his salary.
Morata currently belongs to Como, which exercised the purchase option from Milan this summer after his loan spell in the 2025/26 season. The forward is under contract with the Italian club until June 30, 2029, with an estimated market value of €6 million.

Morata's Situation at Cesc Fàbregas's Como
The sporting context also explains why Morata's name surfaces in the market. Last season, he played 30 matches for Como, scoring 1 goal, and now he is among the players being evaluated for a potential exit by the Italian club.
Moreover, the arrival of new attackers could further alter his situation. Cesc Fàbregas's Como is close to signing Moise Kean in a deal that could reach €45 million including fixed and variable fees, intensifying competition in the attacking line.
Como's planning has already excluded Morata from the provisional Champions League squad, reinforcing reports of a possible exit during this transfer window.
For Leganés, the challenge lies not only in reaching an agreement with Como. Morata's salary necessitates devising a deal with financial involvement from the Italian club, while the pepinero team also has to manage the departures of several players to free up space in their squad.
Therefore, the scenario is open to a negotiation determined by the forward's wage and Como's decision about his future. With the transfer market approaching its conclusion and Leganés still in search of a forward, Álvaro Morata emerges as a viable option if both clubs find a financially viable solution.
