Alvaro Morata set to join Leganes on loan from Como

Spanish striker Alvaro Morata is finalizing a move from the Italian club Como to the Spanish second division side Leganes. The 33-year-old forward has reportedly reached a verbal agreement and is undergoing medical examinations over the weekend to complete the loan transfer. This move marks a significant career shift for the veteran player, who will now compete in a lower-tier league in his home country.

Morata’s transfer comes just two years after he captained the Spanish national team to victory at Euro 2024, where he lifted the trophy following a final win against England in Berlin. Throughout his distinguished career, the striker has played for elite clubs including Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Chelsea, and has scored 37 goals for the Spanish national team. Despite his recent success on the international stage, Morata is seeking a fresh start at Leganes to revitalize his professional trajectory at the age of 33.
