Deportivo La Coruña will try to sign Álvaro Morata on loan to strengthen their forward line for the exciting campaign of their return to the Spanish top division. The Deportivo La Coruña transfer market is starting strong.
The Riazor offices have made a significant impact in the final stretch of June 2026, driven by the firm intention to build a squad of absolute guarantees to avoid struggles in the elite. Information revealed by journalist Marcos Benito on the show El Chiringuito de Jugones confirms that the Galician club has already taken steps to assess the availability of the experienced Spanish international striker.
The 33-year-old forward is currently in a highly enigmatic situation after a peculiar journey in Italian football. Despite being part of Como 1907's historic squad that achieved an unprecedented UEFA Champions League qualification, the Madrid native had little regular playing time, often relegated to the bench due to tactical decisions by Cesc Fàbregas. Although formally tied to AC Milan until the summer of 2029, the striker is not a priority in Rúben Amorim's plans following the multimillion signing of Gonçalo Ramos.
This period of ostracism in Calcio has led the White and Blue's sports management to consider an ambitious loan deal to bring the striker back. In a recent interview with Mario Suárez on 'El Camino de Mario,' the player openly acknowledged the unpredictable nature of his future in football, hinting at a definitive change of scenery this summer. The noble hierarchy of La Coruña will seek to take advantage of this institutional turmoil to provide their project with the necessary media attention and scoring hierarchy in the top category.

Deportivo La Coruña Goes for the Signing of Álvaro Morata
Deportivo La Coruña's strong determination to secure the services of this international elite forward is part of the deep squad restructuring being carried out in the Galician offices to celebrate the promotion. The Coruña team aims to surround their young pillars with seasoned professionals, identifying the former Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid player as the right partner to lead the attack at the Riazor Stadium.
The historic league champion's ambition extends beyond Álvaro Morata, as transfer reports confirm that the technical department is also in negotiations to bring in other high-profile players like goalkeeper Leo Román and skilled Canary Islands winger Ayoze Pérez. With LaLiga's official calendar set to start in mid-August, the sports commission aims to expedite the bureaucratic process to provide the necessary options to the coaching staff during preseason.
However, negotiations in the Galician offices will be challenging from a budget perspective, requiring the directors to strategically manage resources to afford a salary that complies with Spain's stringent financial regulations. The Herculean board trusts that the promise of an undisputed starting role at a historical national football haven will entice the forward, who prioritizes regaining playing time to return to international call-ups.
Getafe Emerges as the Prime Competitor for Morata's Signing
The main challenge faced by the White and Blue sports commission is the formal emergence of another Spanish team with a strong emotional bond with the player. Getafe has firmly entered the race to secure Álvaro Morata's services, offering a highly competitive proposition for the upcoming season, as the Madrid suburban team will participate in European competitions.
The Blue club represents a coveted destination for the striker, who has publicly expressed his personal desire to wear the Getafe shirt before retiring. This emotional connection will lead to a fierce negotiation battle throughout July, where the Madrid team will leverage its geographical proximity and European contender status to counter the Galician offers.
The upcoming weeks in this intense transfer period will determine the institutional seduction capacity of the Herculean leaders to resolve one of the most recurrent sagas in our football. Deportivo La Coruña's restructuring strategy inevitably involves equipping the squad with a proven goal scorer for key matches, pushing for formal negotiations with Milan to ensure that Álvaro Morata's goals embellish the club's exciting return to the top tier.
