Álvaro Morata has said that he wants to stay at Como, even without getting paid, as long as his teammate Nico Pas stays with the team for another year. The forward, who plays for the club on loan from Milan, said that scoring against Fiorentina in the Italian Cup was one of the most important goals of his career. Under the leadership of Cesc Fàbregas, Como is doing really well — the team is currently in 6th place in Serie A, just three points away from the Champions League zone.
After his team’s 3-1 victory over Fiorentina in the Italian Cup round of 16, Como striker Álvaro Morata was asked about his future with Cesc Fàbregas’s team. This was reported by Diario AS.
“We have a great team, and I’m glad these guys have helped me so much here. My goal against Fiorentina is one of the most important goals of my life because of what it represents. I still don’t know if I’ll stay at Como, there’s a lot at stake. I’m just focused on playing here and winning the Italian Cup. If Nico Pas stays for another year, I’ll stay too, even if I don’t get paid! Morata is quoted as saying by journalists.
33-year-old Morata plays for Como on loan from Milan. Nico Pas has been on the radar of Europe’s top clubs for a while. The 21-year-old from Argentina might go back to Real Madrid in the summer.
