Galatasaray have now confirmed that Alvaro Morata’s loan spell at the club has been terminated early, paving the way for his move to Como.
Morata only signed for Milan last summer from Atletico Madrid, but he never truly settled in and was sent on a year-long loan to Galatasaray in the winter mercato, therefore running until January 2026.

News then emerged a few weeks ago that Como boss Cesc Fabregas wants to bring the Spain captain to Como, and the striker himself was keen on the move. Since then, negotiations have been on to try and approve the early termination of his loan in Turkey.
Morata termination official
On their social media, Galatasaray have now confirmed that Morata has left the club, therefore interrupting his loan deal there a few months in advance. They even disclose the figures.
“The contract between our club and professional footballer Alvaro Borja Morata Martin and his club AC Milan S.p.A. has been mutually terminated.
“Under the agreement, AC Milan S.p.A. will pay our company a termination fee of 5,000,000 EUR. Additionally, the footballer has waived his receivables amounting to 651,562 EUR. This is respectfully announced to the fans.”
With Milan having paid the termination fee, it is expected that Como will now pay a bit more to sign the 32-year-old on a permanent deal, with that next step imminent.
How much did Milan collected from Gala initially for the loan?
Guess the price is high to fork out 5m to terminate just 6month down d line of a yer’s contract
6 mil was collected… I think the payment of 5 mil towards Galatasaray will be covered by como as well.
It strange because it was in newspapers that Como will pay.
I think probably deal will be Milan pay to Gala 5 mil, and Como pay initially loan deal to Milan (maybe 5 aswell)
Yes, Como cannot pay directly, as they have no contractual agreement with Galatasaray. At the end it’s left pocket/right pocket for us and I believe the structure was mentioned to be loan for 5M+ obligation to buy.
Como will pay to Milan 10m plus bonuses i think that is deal. Morata was one of many worst sighning last few years.
