Álvaro Morata, born on 23 October 1992 (age 33), is a Spanish striker with Leganés. His senior career took shape at Real Madrid, after his development in their system and with Castilla, before he was drawn into the first-team rotation at a club rarely designed for slow apprenticeships.
The first major move came with Juventus in 2014. It gave him serious football in a demanding side, rather than the usual soft landing for a young striker. Real Madrid brought him back in 2016, and the following league season remains his most productive: 15 goals in 26 appearances in 2016-17.
Morata then moved through Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and Juventus again, with loans playing a real part in the middle of his career. Atlético initially took him from Chelsea on loan before making the move permanent, and Juventus later brought him back on loan from Atlético. Those spells did more than pad out a CV already heavy with major badges.
Now at Leganés, Morata has made seven Segunda División appearances in 2026-27. His career has run through Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Atlético and Leganés – a long, high-level route now in a more modest phase.
