Galatasary have sorted the issue of signing another striker on a permanent basis for their team after reaching an agreement with AC Milan for the signing of Spaniard Alvaro Morata.
Morata is expected to join the team from AC Milan before the close of the ongoing January transfer window after both team reached an agreement for his transfer.
His signing is coming on the back of Galatasary’s failure to land Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen on a permanent deal from Napoli. Their bid of €65m to convert is loan to a permanent deal was rejected few days ago.
Napoli insist on making a decision on the sale of Osimhen in the summer rather than accept the break clause in his loan contract. His transfer fee will be €75m effectively ruling the Turkish side out of the running for his permanent signing.
It’s largely why Morata was signed as it will mean there will be no vacuum when Osimhen departs in the summer as expected after the expiration of his loan deal in June. So far he has scored 17 goals in 21 games in all competitions.
