Victor Osimhen Set for Galatasaray Arrival as Alvaro Morata Pushes for Como Move

Victor Osimhen is expected in Istanbul soon for his official Galatasaray unveiling after completing a historic €75 million transfer from Napoli, as confirmed by reports detailing the agreement from reliable sources. Álvaro Morata is set to leave Atlético Madrid, focused only on a move to Como.

Osimhen to Galatasaray: New Era Begins

Galatasaray will unveil Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen this week, marking the completion of the most expensive transfer in Turkish football history. The Istanbul club reached an agreement with Napoli after lengthy negotiations, securing Osimhen for €75 million, with an initial €40 million payment and the rest in installments, as outlined in a recent report.

Osimhen enjoyed a sensational loan spell last season, scoring 37 goals and delivering 8 assists in 41 games, leading Galatasaray to the Süper Lig and Turkish Cup titles. His consistent showings made him a fan favorite and a central figure in Galatasaray’s attack, confirming his arrival is a signal of the club’s ambition in Turkish and European football.

Morata Determined to Join Como

While Galatasaray celebrate their marquee signing, AC Milan striker Álvaro Morata is one step closer to his own move. Morata skipped team training, showing his determination to leave Milan and Galatasaray – where he was on loan and join Como in Serie A. Reports confirm he is only interested in this move and has no intention of staying in Milan or Istanbul.

Last season, Morata contributed 15 goals and 5 assists in the Turkish Super Lig but now wants a fresh challenge with the recently promoted Italian side. Como are preparing their squad to compete after finishing tenth in their first season back in the Serie A, as they aim for European qualification for the 2025-26 season.

Looking Ahead: Fixtures and Ambitions

Galatasaray will open the new Süper Lig season as reigning champions and title favorites, starting with a home game against Trabzonspor, who finished third last year. They lead Fenerbahçe by six points in last season’s final standings. For Como, the challenge is success in Italy’s top flight, with their first fixture against Lazio—Serie A’s seventh-placed team from last season.

Meanwhile, AC Milan will need to replace Morata but that shouldn’t be too difficult, as the player was away at loan, and doesn’t seem to be part of Allegri’s plans for the season. All eyes are now on Osimhen’s Istanbul debut and Morata’s expected arrival in Como.
