La Liga
Álvaro Morata, a 33-year-old forward from Como, is on the verge of joining Leganés on loan and is already considering another move: convincing Dani Carvajal to accompany him at Butarque. The full-back, aged 34, has been free since his contract with Real Madrid ended last season.
Morata's arrival at Leganés is at an advanced stage. Como and Leganés have agreed on the loan formula and have also worked on the salary split, one of the main obstacles that had halted the operation.
Álvaro Morata, getting closer to Leganés
Morata has given his approval to the possibility of playing for Leganés, and the parties are working to finalize the last details of a loan from Como. The Italian club retains the rights to the forward, whose contract extends until 2029.
The economic aspect has been crucial in the negotiations. Como will assume a significant part of Morata's salary, a necessary condition for Leganés to be able to afford his addition from the Second Division.
The move also responds to the forward's sporting situation. Morata did not play a single minute in Como's league debut against Udinese, and the Italian side is considering changes in their attack during this transfer window.
Leganés has already prepared an alternative in case the operation falls through. The club has inquired about Ousmane Camara, the Castellón forward for whom an amount exceeding 3 million euros is being demanded.

Dani Carvajal, Morata's request
Parallel to the negotiations for Morata, the name of Dani Carvajal appears, who remains a free agent after concluding his spell at Real Madrid. The white club confirmed in May that both parties had agreed not to extend the full-back's contract.
Carvajal, born in Leganés, ended his time at Madrid after 13 years as a professional in the first team and with six Champions League titles on his resume. His contractual situation allows him to join another club without a transfer.
For now, the scenario that is presented is closely linked to Morata's desire: that his arrival facilitates Carvajal also considering a move to Leganés. There is no agreement announced by the full-back nor a confirmed negotiation between the parties for his signing.
Carvajal is still assessing options after becoming free, as the transfer window approaches its closure. The player has received interest from destinations outside of Europe, although his initial priority is to evaluate European alternatives.
Leganés speeds up before the deadline
Leganés' immediate priority remains completing the loan deal for Álvaro Morata. Reports published this Friday suggest that the agreement could be reached before the weekend ends.
If the deal goes through, Morata could become a key piece in Leganés' attack and, from there, try to convince Dani Carvajal to return to his hometown. The next step for Álvaro Morata is to finalize his departure from Como; for Carvajal, to decide where he will continue his career as a free agent.
