CD Leganés completes high-profile signing of Álvaro Morata

CD Leganés has completed the high-profile signing of striker Álvaro Morata. Club football director Andrés Pardo described the acquisition as a difficult but successful pursuit, noting that while the move initially seemed “impossible,” weeks of contact eventually led to the agreement. Pardo expressed pride in securing a player of Morata’s European stature to bolster the squad.

Regarding further transfer activity, Pardo indicated that the club's squad is now closed, effectively dismissing rumors regarding the potential arrival of Dani Carvajal. The club has focused on a significant squad overhaul this season, completing between 12 and 13 signings while maintaining financial balance through Fair Play regulations.

In response to the news, UD Las Palmas defender Enrique Clemente noted that Morata’s arrival was unexpected for his teammates. While acknowledging Morata’s brilliant career, Clemente emphasized that Leganés remains a competitive opponent with other key threats like Álex Millán.
