Morata once again hints at bitter Milan exit: “The way I left was bad”

Alvaro Morata has once again hinted that his exit from AC Milan was a messy one, after getting his first goal involvement for Como.

After weeks of speculation about whether he would be allowed to join his compatriot Cesc Fabregas at Como, Morata finally got his wish as his 12-month loan at Galatasaray was eventually terminated a few months in advance.

The former Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid man took to social media at the time to criticise the Turkish club for not keeping their word, while he has also previously hinted that he was unhappy at the way Milan acted too.

Post-retirement reveal?

Como conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser at home against Genoa which was certainly a sickener for Morata and his team-mates. The Spaniard spoke in a press conference (via MilanNews) after the game, and he was again asked about a difficult 2024-25.

How do you arrive at Como, after a difficult year?

“If for you a difficult year is winning three cups… I don’t agree. Last year at Milan I won at the Bernabeu in the Champions League, I played some good matches, we won the Super Cup beating Juventus and Inter.

“It wasn’t a bad year. It’s true that the way I left was bad, but I can’t answer that. Maybe I’ll talk about it when I stop playing [retire].”
