Fabregas 'rescues' Morata

Morata has the opportunity to revive his career in Serie A after being invited by Cesc Fabregas to join Como - a team that is emerging as a new phenomenon in Calcio.

Morata has the opportunity to revive his career in Serie A.

After a lackluster season, it seemed Alvaro Morata's career would once again sink into aimless wanderings. But then, Como appeared – not as an escape, but as a chance for rebirth. And the one who extended the invitation was none other than Cesc Fabregas – his former teammate, the one who understood Morata perhaps better than any of the coaches who had ever managed him.

Morata, at 32, has climbed almost every rung of European football – Real Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Galatasaray – but has never truly found a place he can call "home". In the 2024/25 season, he played 41 games, scored 13 goals, and provided 5 assists – not bad numbers, but still far from the expectations of a striker once expected to inherit the position of Fernando Torres or David Villa.

Milan loaned Morata, then let him drift to Türkiye. Galatasaray had the option to buy him outright, but were still hesitant. And in that lull, Como stepped in, with a very attractive prospect: becoming the centerpiece of a major project.

Como is no longer the small team struggling to avoid relegation. Under Fabregas's leadership, the team from the dreamy lake region is nurturing European dreams. They spent over 100 million euros last season, and a similar amount will be poured in this summer.

The squad is being "Spanishized" with the arrival of Sergi Roberto, and Morata could be the next piece of the puzzle. Not only is he an experienced striker, Morata also brings stature and finesse – qualities that Fabregas believes he can rekindle.

Fabregas is proving to be a talented manager with Como.

The special relationship between the two Spaniards – who have played alongside each other for both the national team and Chelsea – is the cornerstone of this deal. Initial negotiations between Morata's representatives and Como's leadership have been positive. Fabregas, with his understanding and vision, is convincing Morata that this is not a stopping point, but a place to start anew – a place where he can be completely trusted, no longer having to play second fiddle to anyone.

Of course, the deal won't be easy to make happen. Morata is still under contract with Milan, while Galatasaray has a buyout clause until January next year. But Como believes in an optimistic outlook. Italian football, once a fertile ground for Morata at Juventus, could once again welcome him with open arms – this time in a more central role than ever before.

Notably, Como didn't stop at Morata. They approached Jesus Rodriguez of Real Betis – a sign that the club is serious about its transformation. No longer a fleeting phenomenon, Como is laying the foundation for a long-term ambition – and Morata, if he agrees, would be a symbol of that journey.

In the world of football, not everyone is lucky enough to be "saved" repeatedly. But perhaps, like any goalscorer, Morata just needs someone to believe in him – and Cesc Fabregas is doing that, with all the patience, friendship, and a project compelling enough to convince any player still yearning to shine.
