August 8 – 00:45 – MILAN

It was hard and long but in the end it closed with the satisfaction of all the parts. We are talking about the Telenovela Morata, promised groom in Como for a month and a half but blocked by Galatasaray, to whom he was linked by a loan from Milan. It was … to the past, because yesterday the knot was melted. The parties are still discussing the details on the figures and the transfer formula: 4 million should go to Milan for the interruption of the loan; The Rossoneri will receive 12 from Como for the player’s card who will tie themselves to the Lariano club presumably presumably until 2028. Difficult but not impossible that Alvaro, who is on vacation in Spain, can reach the new companions already by the end of this week. On Sunday evening the Como will challenge Barcelona in the Gamper Trophy. What better opportunity to make the debut, even for a few minutes, against the rivals of a lifetime: 15 crossings including 7 with the Real shirt. In short, a new Clasico for Alvaro.

Disappointment

Milan the Rossoneri had taken him from Atletico Madrid last July, paying the Colchoneros a termination clause of 13 million euros. His third trip to Italy after those at Juve in 2014-16 and 2020-22 had been a half flop. These are his words to the Gazzetta dello Sport before saying farewell to Milan: “There are things in there things that I had never lived in my career and that I prefer to keep for me, I didn’t feel more comfortable and before I became a problem I left”. In six months Rossoneri, 25 appearances and 6 goals (2 assists) in all the competitions at the average of one goal every 279 ‘. On February 2, 2025, the signing with Galatasaray for a year of onerous loan to 6 million and a right of redemption to 8. Much better the numbers in Turkey: 7 goals in 16 games, with 3 assists, average goals for minutes doubled: 122.

Alice’s weight

“Istanbul welcomed us with so much love. People in Türkiye is very warm and friendly, and we feel like at home” Alice Campello, Morata’s wife, assured during Galatasaray’s adventure. But on the decision to return to Italy he would have influenced his business as an entrepreneur divided between Milan and Madrid. So here is the opportunity propitious, a chat with his friend Fabregas, companion of many games in the national team and Chelsea. The Catalan enthusiastically illustrates the ambitious project of his Como and the possibility of becoming an integral part of it. An expert center forward like him would be the icing on the cake to make the definitive leap in quality in Serie A, perhaps fight to qualify for the European cups, after a first season ended with an excellent tenth place. Fabregas manages a handful of strong but still young attackers: Paz, Diao, Douvikas, Azon those who arrived last season; Rodriguez, Addai, Kuhn, Baturina the new ones.

Surprise bomber

Meanwhile, speaking of center forward, Como enjoys Ivan Azon, author of the goal-vittoria on Wednesday against Betis, his fourth in pre-season. Precisely for the ability to make decisive goals, the Spaniard is nicknamed El Tiburon, the shark. Twenty -two years, he arrived in February definitively from Zaragoza for 2 million euros. The Como should have taken it this summer but since he was crossing a fairly heavy injury in the calf, he decided to anticipate his arrival to assist him in the care and give him a way to settle in peace. As evidence of what he believes in the player. Azon in this market has attracted the interest of Valencia and above all of the Ipeswich, which has entered the two clubs to divert a possible loan agreement. But at this point Fabregas reflects …
