Como ready to release Morata with extra 3m to Galatasaray
The striker agreed personal terms almost two months ago and has been increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress for this return to Serie A.
The problem is that he joined Galatasaray on loan in January for €6m with an obligation to buy in January 2026 for a further €8m.
Galatasaray want Morata golden handshake payment

Now the Turkish team is demanding a big payment to interrupt that agreement, release him back to Milan so that he can then join Como.
According to Calciomercato.com, the breakthrough can be achieved if Como help Milan to pay that penalty, so President Mirwan Suwarso is stepping in to propose €3m.
That can reduce Milan's payment to just €5-6m so that everyone can be satisfied with the outcome.
Como coach Cesc Fabregas is eager to work with Morata, who turns 33 in October and brings valuable experience to what is otherwise a largely young team.
Milan had only purchased the Spaniard from Atletico Madrid for €13m in July 2024.

Hansi Flick praises transfer-linked Barcelona star
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick on Monday made use of the opportunity to afford some praise to a transfer-linked member of his squad. The player in question? Héctor Fort. Defender Fort has of course seen his name continue to dominate the headlines in Catalunya's capital over recent days. This comes amid the understanding that the 19-year-old has been made available for transfer by the Camp Nou brass. Fort, nevertheless, was introduced off the bench en route to Barcelona's 5-0 friendly drubbing of FC Daegu earlier today, after also featuring against FC Seoul last week. Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle at the Daegu Stadium, it therefore came as little surprise when the name of his young full-back was put to the aforementioned Hansi Flick. And the German tactician made use of the question to send some praise Fort's way, explaining: 'I'm pleased with what I saw from Héctor Fort. He trained well and played well the other day.'

Newcastle 'make' improved offer for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško
Newcastle have submitted an improved second bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško according to the Athletic's David Ornstein. Their new bid is believed to be in the region of €80m up front, after an opening bid of €75m and €5m in add-ons was rejected by the Bundesliga club. The report states that the Slovenian forward is still wanted by Manchester United, but indications suggest there is an unwillingness to pay the same sum as the Magpies, which puts Eddie Howe's side in a strong position as things stand. Positive talks have also taken place between the clubs and the 22-year-old, but nothing is agreed yet and there is no guarantee of the outcome or the striker's preferred destination, with it still possible Šeško stays with Leipzig. Newcastle have signed only Anthony Elanga in a frustrating summer to date, with Alexander Isak returning to club training amid a desire to leave the club and serious interest from Premier League champions Liverpool. 📸 Maja Hitij - 2025 Getty Images

Torino hard at work on Simeone, Oristanio, Idzes and more
Giovanni Simeone was a surprise report on July 26, but now Torino are on the verge of an €8m deal with Napoli, while talks continue for Gaetano Oristanio, Jay Idzes and Kassoum Ouattara too. It had been an exclusive here over a week ago that the Granata were interested in Simeone and the negotiations have reached the final details to get an agreement over the line. Napoli are ready to give the all clear for him to undergo his medical, with the fee set at a total of around €8m. Simeone's arrival will allow Duvan Zapata all the time he needs to make a full recovery from that serious knee injury. Torino intensifying transfer activity in August VENICE, ITALY – AUGUST 30: Gaetano Oristanio of Venezia looks on during the Serie A match between Venezia and Torino at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on August 30, 2024 in Venice, Italy. (Photo by) Meanwhile, Torino are also working hard on other deals, as we already saw our exclusives on Ardian Ismajli, Franco Israel and Cyril Ngonge pan out. They remain very interested in Oristanio, a link we made exclusively here on June 27, and over the next few days there will be more discussions with Venezia. A deal could be done on loan without the obligation to buy, but only an option, so we shall see. Their meeting with Venezia could also stretch to a conversation about Idzes, although Sassuolo remain on his tail too, in case Saul Coco is sold. Watch out also for AS Monaco left-back Ouattara, as revealed by ToroZone, who is also on their radar.
