Chelsea FC-linked Morata set for MLS move after Como stint Alvaro Morata, the former Chelsea FC striker, could be on the move again this summer despite only joining Como on a permanent deal two months ago. The Spain international, who left Stamford Bridge in 2020, has reportedly attracted interest from Major League Soccer side Atlanta United.

What happened? Morata signed for Serie A club Como in June after a loan spell from AC Milan last season. The move was made permanent due to a clause in his loan deal. However, reports suggest Atlanta United are now keen on the 33-year-old, who failed to score in 26 appearances for Como last term.

Why it matters for Chelsea FC Morata’s potential move to MLS comes just two months after former Chelsea FC midfielder Cesc Fabregas left Como. The Blues have seen several ex-players linked with moves to the US league, including Romelu Lukaku, who is also reportedly on Atlanta’s radar.

What comes next? Chelsea FC finished 10th in the Premier League last season with 52 points, scoring 58 goals and conceding 52. As the new campaign approaches, the club will focus on strengthening their squad. Meanwhile, Morata’s future remains uncertain, with Atlanta United yet to confirm any deal.
