AdminRecently, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Como and Milan have been in discussions for several days regarding Morata’s future, while simultaneously reaching a preliminary agreement concerning Thiaw. The plan was to quickly finalize a dual deal valued at over €40m. However, the final elements are still outstanding. The situation involving €40m remains uncertain. According to Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) this morning, the German defender has received a salary offer from the Lariani amounting to €4m net per year. Although he has not dismissed the offer, he is contemplating it seriously. This move could yield a significant capital gain for Milan, potentially bringing in €25m plus bonuses, and over €20m when considering amortization.
The former Schalke player aspires to participate in European competitions to enhance his chances of making the Germany squad for the 2026 World Cup in the U. S.
Morata is also in discussions with Como, yet Galatasaray is adamantly resisting an early termination of his loan, which is set to continue until the winter window of 2026. It’s best for Morata to remain with Galatasaray. They have strengthened their squad effectively, and we hope he finds the back of the net frequently, which could allow us to sell him for a higher price than what Como might offer. He has a lengthy contract with us, so there is no urgency.
The same situation applies to Thiaw; his contract is not nearing expiration either. I’m skeptical about selling him for €25 million, as I believe we can command a better price. Allegri has the capacity to enhance his performance in a reliable defensive setup, and he is still just about to turn 24.
The current management is in need of funds to reinvest in the team. However, offloading players for less than their value may not be the best solution to escape this predicament.
On one side, securing €40 million could enable us to acquire superior talent. On the flip side, investing substantial amounts in players who have not consistently delivered at a high standard creates uncertainty.
We will see if potential suitors emerge in the upcoming weeks with more competitive offers. Morata seems to lack the mindset to manage pressure effectively. He may miss several chances at Gala, leading to fan frustration, which could cause him to falter once more. The sooner we can offload him, the better. He even revealed he considered faking an injury to avoid playing for the national team. He might be a great individual, I can’t say, but from my perspective, it appears he was somewhat obligated to pursue football purely based on his above-average talent.
