Former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is reportedly closing in on a shock move to Spanish second-tier side Leganes. Morata, 33, is currently at Como but only scored one goal in 30 games on loan last season and got on the wrong side of manager Cesc Fabregas.Bizarrely, Como only signed him in June after making his loan from AC Milan permanent.The two-time Champions League winner has played for some of the world’s biggest clubs in Real Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid, but is now poised to join a club nicknamed the Cucumber Growers with a 14,500-capacity stadium. Como and Leganes are finalising a deal after the player requested to move, according to Marca.It will mark another twist in the bonkers journey of Morata, who this summer called off divorce plans for a second time with his model wife Alice Campello. Alvaro Morata could soon be on his way to the Spanish second division with CD Leganes It comes weeks after he and his wife Alice Campello called off a divorce for the second timeAt least he will be continuing to play football and ignoring the advice of Fabregas, who suggested that Morata should ‘play another sport’ after a red card last season.The striker was sent off after two yellow cards in quick succession against Fiorentina in February, prompting Fabregas – his former Chelsea team-mate – to say: ‘Provocation is part of football, those who can’t live with that should play another sport.’I expect much more from an experienced player like him.’Morata had been dragged into confrontations with Rolando Mandragora and then with Marin Pongracic, getting two yellow cards in rapid succession. He will be a major signing for Leganes, who have already made 11 acquisitions in a summer which has seen the club change hands to different owners. Having been in LaLiga as recently as 2024-25, Leganes are targeting promotion but are under no illusions after only finishing 16th last season. Morata will be hoping the drop in tier will let him add to his goals tally. He has scored 231 goals in 660 club appearances, while he also has 37 in 87 matches for Spain.Chelsea signed him for a then-club record £70.6million from Real Madrid in 2017 but he only lasted 18 months before being shipped out on loan to Atletico Madrid for two seasons, before eventually signing for Juventus. The couple split after the Euro 2024 final, reconciled in January, then split again Morata was on loan at Como last season, scored once in 30 games, was then signed permanently by them… and now looks to be on his way out Leganes will be a new adventure for Morata and his wife Campello, who have experienced some turbulence in recent seasons. They split after Spain’s 2024 European Championship victory following a falling out on the field.In August that year, they announced they were going their separate ways seven years after tying the knot. They rekindled their relationship last January but then split again.The couple, who have four children together – twins Alessandro and Leonardo, Edoardo, and Bella – split because they had difficulties in communication.In January, Spanish magazine Hola reported that Morata had moved out of the family home he shares with Campello and their four young children – Alessandro, Leonardo (twins), Edoardo, and Bella.According to Spanish journalist Javi Hoyos, though, they have once again decided to give their relationship another chance, and were snapped together at a Bad Bunny concert at Atletico Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium over the weekend, as shared on Instagram account beatrizespejel.Reports suggest they have in fact been back together for some time.Campello posted on TikTok: ‘I really enjoy seeing your kindness, your gentleness, and your ability to understand others. I’m sure you’ll go even further, because when things are done with respect, affection, and courtesy, you always win. And thank you also for all the messages of support and love from those who are happy for us.’
