Overview
- Reports on Thursday say Álvaro Morata is very close to moving to Spanish second-division side Leganés on loan from Como for the 2026–27 season, with negotiations described as advanced by multiple outlets.
- Morata’s lack of minutes at Como and the expected arrival of Moise Kean have reduced his role in the team and helped prompt his search for a new club.
- Como holds Morata’s contract through June 2029, so any loan depends on the Italian club agreeing the temporary move and the clubs settling financial and registration terms.
- Leganés view a veteran striker like Morata as a potential number nine who can add goals and leadership to their early promotion push after a promising start to the Segunda División campaign.
- While sources close to the player and club officials express optimism, the deal is not yet official and could still be stalled by paperwork, wage arrangements or league registration rules.
