In a swift turn of events, Alvaro Morata’s transfer from AC Milan to Galatasaray has been finalized. Nicolo Schira reports that the Spanish striker is set to join the Turkish giants on a loan deal with an option to buy, which could potentially become an obligation if certain conditions are met. Morata has agreed to a contract that will keep him at Galatasaray until 2028.
The move represents a significant step for both clubs and the player. Galatasaray has offered Morata a higher salary than he was receiving at Milan, demonstrating their commitment to securing his services. Initially, the Turkish club had planned for Morata to travel on Friday night, but in an unexpected development, his arrival has been expedited to today.
The slight delay in Morata’s transfer was due to AC Milan’s ongoing negotiations with Feyenoord for Santiago Gimenez, nicknamed “El Bebote.” The Rossoneri were waiting for the green light from the Dutch club to complete the deal for the promising Mexican striker. This interconnected series of transfers highlights the domino effect often seen in the football transfer market.
Milan’s strategy appears clear: they are making room for Gimenez by allowing Morata to depart. This move suggests that the Italian club has high hopes for their new attacking prospect and is willing to reshape their forward line to accommodate him.
