Overview
- Leganés announced a one-year loan from Como that brings 33-year-old Á lvaro Morata to the Segunda División club for the 2026–27 season.
- Morata said he chose the move because he believes in Leganés’ promotion project and wants to live and play in Madrid rather than chase top‑level competition.
- The deal required wage restructuring to comply with LaLiga salary‑cap rules, with Leganés covering a large share of Morata’s pay and the player agreeing to a reduction.
- Club sources and reports expect Morata to lead the attack as the club’s main striker and to add experience and goals to Leganés’ promotion push.
- The loan follows a difficult spell at Como under Cesc Fàbregas, where Morata scored infrequently, and keeps him contracted to Como while offering him a reset in Spain.
