Osimhen to close to gala, Morata want out
Istanbul, Turkey – Turkish giants Galatasaray are reportedly finalising plans for Victor Osimhen arrival in Istanbul, with sources indicating that the Nigerian striker could travel to Turkey in the coming days to complete a move.
Though details of the deal remain under wraps, Galatasaray’s pursuit of Osimhen represents a bold statement of intent as the club looks to bolster its attacking options ahead of the new season. The 25-year-old, currently on the books of Serie A side Napoli, has been the subject of widespread transfer speculation this summer, with several European clubs expressing interest.
Osimhen’s potential switch to the Turkish Süper Lig champions would mark one of the most high-profile arrivals in recent Turkish football history. Galatasaray, fresh off a successful domestic campaign, are reportedly preparing both logistically and financially for the striker’s anticipated arrival.
Morata Eyes Como Exit
In a related development, Álvaro Morata’s future at Atlético Madrid continues to hang in the balance, with the Spanish forward skipping team training today amid intensifying efforts to force a move to newly-promoted Serie A side Como 1907.
Sources close to the player confirm that Morata is determined to leave Madrid and has no intention of remaining at the club for the upcoming season. The 31-year-old striker is reportedly “only keen” on joining Como, where former teammates and ambitious ownership have lured him with the promise of a key role and competitive wages.
Como’s pursuit of Morata signals the club’s intent to make a splash in their return to Italy’s top flight. Backed by ambitious investors and led by sporting director Cesc Fàbregas, the club is reshaping its image with marquee signings.
Outlook
As the summer transfer window heats up, Galatasaray’s potential capture of Osimhen and Morata’s push toward Como could be two of the defining moves of the off-season. Both players would bring proven European pedigree to their prospective clubs and dramatically shift the dynamics in their respective leagues.
