Morata joins Leganés on loan with an option until season’s end

Leganés has officially announced the arrival of Álvaro Morata on loan from Como in Serie A. The Spain international returns to Spanish football to bolster LaLiga Hypermotion’s forward line after a season spent with the Italian club, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

The deal is structured as a temporary move through the end of the season with an option, matching the terms published by Como. Mundo Deportivo highlights that the agreement was finalized after both clubs narrowed differences in the salary split in recent days.

Loan deal with an option

Como’s brief statement, quoted in the reporting, said: “Como 1907 communicates the loan on a temporary basis, until the end of the season, with an option, of the forward Álvaro Morata to Leganés.”

A return to Spain

At 33 years old, Morata brings a wide range of experience across Spain and Italy. As Mundo Deportivo recalls, his path includes academy time at Atlético de Madrid and Getafe, an elite debut with Real Madrid, and further spells at clubs such as Juventus, Chelsea, and Atlético de Madrid—before his most recent stop at Milan and then Como.

With the paperwork now done, the next question is how quickly the striker adapts and contributes goals for Leganés as the campaign gets underway.
