After Fiorentina’s financial difficulties had forced the club to sell several key players, Morfeo returned to the side for the 2001–02 season, and was now expected to be a central figure for the club; however, Fiorentina endured a difficult season, which ultimately ended with relegation to Serie B and bankruptcy, while Morfeo was limited to just two goals in 18 appearances, once again due to injury troubles.

Due to his subsidiary role in Milan’s title victory, his loan was not renewed the following season, and Fiorentina instead loaned him out to Cagliari.

He was raised from Pescina, Abruzzo, after joining the Atalanta B.C. Youth Academy in the year 1988 at age 14 years old. Morfeo was a hugely accomplished youth career in the Bergamo primavera team under the direction of manager Cesare Prandelli. He won the Campionato Allievi in 1992, and later , the Trofeo Dossena, the Campionato Nazionale Primavera as well as the Torneo di Viareggio in 1993 and establishing himself as one of Italy’s top under-21 footballers.

After failing to appear in Fiorentina’s opening five league matches under new manager Giovanni Trapattoni the following season, Morfeo was sent on loan to Italian giants Milan in 1998, who had been impressed by the youngster’s performances the previous season; however, his time at the Milanese club was largely unsuccessful, as several injuries and disagreements with manager Alberto Zaccheroni limited his playing time, and he only managed to obtain eleven appearances, mostly as a substitute, scoring one goal. Furthermore, Milan’s rigorous use of the 4–4–2 system and subsequent switch to a 3–4–3 formation, neither of which featured an attacking midfielder, meant that Morfeo was often forced to play out of position as a winger, where he was not as effective or influential to the team’s attacking play; as a result, he was often benched. Despite his mixed success throughout the season, he still managed to win his only professional trophy with the club that year, as Milan finished the 1998–99 season by claiming the Serie A title.
