Alvaro Morata is reportedly closing in on a loan move to Leganes from Como, with sources confirming that negotiations are underway, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 33-year-old forward has struggled to secure a regular starting position under Cesc Fabregas at Como and is considering a return to Spanish football in the Segunda Division.

Reasons for Morata's Move:

• Morata has not managed to establish himself at Como, and the anticipated arrival of Moise Kean would further limit his playing time.
• His future in Serie A looks uncertain, prompting links with several clubs, with Leganes emerging as the most likely destination.
• Morata prefers to reside in the Spanish capital, which is influencing his choice to join Leganes.

Loan Structure and Negotiations: Sources indicate that the operation is being negotiated, although challenges exist due to Leganes being a Segunda Division club. If completed, Morata could become the club’s number nine for the season, adding significant experience to their squad.

Impact on Leganes: Leganes is aiming for promotion to the Primera Division this season. Securing Morata on loan would bolster their offensive options as they pursue this goal.

Next Steps: The negotiations remain active, with Morata's preference for living in Madrid central to the potential move. Attention now focuses on whether the deal can be finalized.
