Cesc Fabregas denies friends claim as Alvaro Morata arrives in Como

Cesc Fabregas: No ‘Friendly Favours’ for Alvaro Morata at Como

Alvaro Morata has officially joined Como on loan, with Cesc Fabregas making it clear that there will be no special treatment for his former teammate. Morata, the captain of the Spanish national team, completed the move to Como after a challenging period with AC Milan and Galatasaray.

After leading Spain to victory in the UEFA Euro 2024, Morata made the decision to leave Atletico Madrid for AC Milan, a move he later admitted to regretting. His time at the San Siro was less than ideal, leading to a loan spell at Galatasaray where he helped secure the Turkish title.

However, with Galatasaray bringing in Victor Osimhen, Morata’s future was uncertain. A deal was struck between AC Milan and Como to split Morata’s wages for the 2025/26 season, allowing him to continue pursuing his World Cup aspirations.

The negotiations were complicated by Morata’s loan agreement with Galatasaray, which required a significant fee for his release. Ultimately, Morata agreed to a reduced salary to facilitate his move to Como, much to the satisfaction of all parties involved.

Fabregas Sends a Warning to Morata

Despite their history as teammates, Fabregas made it clear that there will be no special treatment for Morata at Como. While they shared a bond during their time at Chelsea and the national team, Fabregas emphasized that their relationship has evolved over time.

He praised Morata’s work ethic and dedication, highlighting his willingness to make sacrifices for the team. Fabregas expressed confidence in Morata’s abilities and commitment to succeed at Como, noting his decision to forego a significant portion of his salary in Turkey as a testament to his mindset.

With Morata now settled at Como, the stage is set for a new chapter in his career, with Fabregas expecting nothing less than a strong performance from his former colleague.
