Former Juventus and Chelsea forward, Álvaro Morata, has officially broken his self-imposed condition regarding Victor Osimhen’s future, as he prepares to leave Galatasaray for Serie A newcomers Como, Soccernet.ng reports.
Morata, who joined the Turkish champions on loan from AC Milan, had earlier stated that he would only stay at Galatasaray if the club retained Super Eagles striker Osimhen.
According to reports from Turkish media outlet Sabah, as cited by Nexus Sports, Morata told Galatasaray’s hierarchy:
“If you don’t replace Osimhen, I’ll stay at Galatasaray.”
The Spanish striker, brought in as a short-term cover for the injured Mauro Icardi, has often expressed admiration for Osimhen.
“Osimhen is a great person and one of the best centre forwards in the world. I hope we will all celebrate the championship together. This is an incredible country; my family is very happy here, and I want it to continue like this.” In an earlier interview with Sports Digitale, he said.
“Álvaro Morata, now set to join Como from Galatasaray as soon as all documents for Osimhen deal are signed next week. Morata has been waiting for Como for one month… and now, all set.”
