Italian reports indicate that Como`s pursuit of Spanish forward Alvaro Morata from Milan is in jeopardy, with today marked as the crucial deadline for an agreement.
Sky Sport reports that Galatasaray`s insistence on a compensation fee to prematurely end Morata`s loan in Turkey is the primary obstacle, testing the patience of the involved clubs.
Decisive Period for Como and Morata Deal
While Morata has already agreed to join Cesc Fabregas` Como, and Milan has accepted their offer, the main issue is his current loan agreement with Galatasaray, which runs until next year. The Turkish club is seeking approximately €6 million to release him early.
Milan has engaged in discussions with Galatasaray to secure the Spanish forward`s release, even as Morata has reluctantly participated in pre-season training. However, an agreement remains elusive. Sky indicates that today could be the final day for these negotiations, and if Milan fails to facilitate his early departure from Galatasaray, Como might lose out on their primary attacking target.
