Former Spain captain Morata closing in on move to Segunda División side Leganés
Álvaro Morata, the former Spain captain and one of the most travelled strikers of his generation, is on the verge of completing a transfer to CD Leganés of Spain's Segunda División. The move would be a notable comedown for a player who has scored at Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, AC Milan, and most recently Galatasaray. Leganés, based in the Madrid suburbs, would offer Morata a new chapter after a turbulent stretch in his career. The deal has not yet been officially confirmed by either party.
Read the full story at football-italia.netMorata linking up with Leganés signals a pragmatic new phase for a striker who has never quite settled anywhere since leaving Real Madrid's youth system. Dropping to the Spanish second division at this stage of his career is unusual for a player of his profile, but it reflects how sharply his stock has fallen after inconsistent spells at multiple Champions League clubs. For Leganés, signing a name of Morata's stature would be a major statement of intent in their promotion push, even if his recent form and injury record raise questions about what he can still deliver on the pitch.
