Leganes, having been relegated from La Liga in the 2024-25 season, are in their second consecutive campaign aiming for promotion back to the top flight. Morata’s career has seen him represent multiple clubs across Europe in the past three years, including stints with Galatasaray in Turkey, AC Milan in Italy, and Como.
Morata initially joined Como on a one-season loan from AC Milan, featuring 30 appearances and scoring one goal last season as the team pursued European qualification. Como earned Champions League qualification by finishing fourth, narrowly ahead of AC Milan, who finished fifth.
This summer, Morata made a permanent move to Como before immediately going on another season-long loan to Leganes. His unveiling for Leganes has since captured wide attention online, drawing comments and reactions from fans and commentators alike.
During the presentation, Morata attempted to entertain the crowd with keepy-uppies, a common feature of such ceremonies. In the video, he begins with a successful around-the-world trick before a misstep sees the ball slip from his shin. He chases the ball, restarts, and repeats, managing two around-the-world touches before a ball sticks to the underside of his heel and drops. He then proceeds with standard keepy-uppies.
Morata appeared relaxed and in good spirits as he settled in with Leganes, signaling a willingness to adapt and contribute as they pursue promotion back to La Liga. Reports indicate the 33-year-old striker has long harbored a desire to return to his native Madrid area.
Throughout his career, Morata has played for high-profile clubs, including Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid, among others. His transfer activity in recent years has been substantial, with cumulative moves and loans contributing to a notable career path across European football.
