Victor Osimhen is set to leave Galatasaray in the summer, with the club in advanced talks to sign Alvaro Morata as his replacement, according to Fabrizio Romano. Galatasaray made a €65 million bid for Osimhen, but Napoli rejected it, demanding his €75 million release clause. Morata, currently at AC Milan, is expected to fill Mauro Icardi’s spot and later replace Osimhen, with Milan eyeing Santiago Gimenez as Morata successor.
In the latest transfer developments, Victor Osimhen is set to leave Galatasaray in the summer as the Turkish club begins planning for his replacement. According to Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray is in “advanced talks” to sign Alvaro Morata from AC Milan. The Nigerian striker, currently on loan from Napoli, has been a standout performer, prompting Galatasaray to submit a €65 million bid to make his move permanent. However, Napoli rejected the offer, insisting on his €75 million release clause.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray to avoid being sidelined at Napoli, has attracted interest from several top European clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United. With his departure imminent, Galatasaray is now focused on securing Morata, who only joined Milan last summer. The Spanish forward will initially fill the void left by Mauro Icardi, who is out for the season due to an ACL injury.
Morata’s potential move could trigger a series of striker transfers, with AC Milan reportedly targeting Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez as his replacement. Osimhen’s situation continues to be a hot topic in the football transfer market, with his next destination still uncertain.
