Galatasaray have terminated their loan with Milan for Alvaro Morata, receiving €5m, so he can now complete the transfer to Como.

It had been one of the longest running sagas on the transfer market, dragging on for months, as Morata had effectively agreed to join Como in early June.

Morata finally released from Galatasaray

However, Galatasaray demanded compensation in order to terminate the loan agreement that they had reached with Milan in January.

It was worth €6m for a one-year loan, with an obligation to buy for a further €8m in January 2026.

By cutting it short by six months, Galatasaray have received a €5m compensation package.

Morata also agreed to forego €651,562 in money he would’ve been owed, as he was desperate to make the move to Como stick.

Now this has finally been resolved, the Spain international can move to Como, reportedly on loan with an obligation to buy for €10m.

Milan paid €13m to sign the striker from Atletico Madrid in July 2024.
