Di Marzio: Como to resolve Morata dispute by paying Galatasaray €3m – closure imminent

The situation involving Alvaro Morata, Galatasaray, AC Milan and Como seems to have finally been unblocked, a report claims.

Morata joined Galatasaray from Milan on a one-year loan deal in the winter transfer window, meaning it was set to expire in five months. However, the striker has made it clear he wishes to cut short his time there and join his friend Cesc Fabregas at Como.

The problem with this is that the Turkish club have paid a high loan fee (€6m) and thus want compensation for not having the Spaniard for the full length of time agreed. Thus, negotiations have been ongoing for some time to find a meeting point.

Gianluca Di Marzio has the latest news, stating: “Como-Alvaro Morata, the deal is moving forward. Positive discussions have taken place in the last few hours, and now the deal is being finalised.

“Como will pay Galatasaray €3 million plus bonuses to close the deal. Now, therefore, the documents from the Turkish club are awaited.”

What remains to be clarified is whether this will be on top of the €10m they agreed with Milan for the permanent signing of the 32-year-old, or if it will come out of the amount agreed.
