Exclusive: Fresh twist in Milan’s Morata saga as Como refuse to pay Galatasaray compensation | OneFootball

As reported in recent days, Como had been confidently awaiting the go-ahead by Wednesday (today) to sign Alvaro Morata.

That confidence remains but Como still have no intention of paying the €3 million fee requested by Galatasaray.

In fact, Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani is still handling the matter, as the Rossoneri work to free up Morata and have reassured Como in the process. There is already an agreement between the two Italian clubs for a transfer fee of around €10 million.

Como continue to dream of top target Morata

Last week, Como president Mirwan Suwarso confirmed that his club had an agreement with Milan over the player and that they have done all they had to do in the negotiations. Galatasaray, meanwhile, were insistent over compensation to release the player from his loan contract.
