Morata set to leave Milan: Galatasaray move imminent

Alvaro Morata’s time at Milan may be coming to an early end. The Spanish forward is in advanced negotiations with Galatasaray, as the two clubs finalize the details of a loan move with an obligation to buy. The deal is expected to be worth around €13 million, the same amount Milan spent on him last summer. Tensions between Morata and coach Sérgio Conceição have reportedly escalated, with their latest clash occurring at halftime during Milan’s defeat to Dinamo Zagreb. If everything proceeds smoothly, Morata could be on a flight to Istanbul as early as tomorrow.

His departure could pave the way for Milan to bring in Santiago Gimenez, with an offer of €27 million plus bonuses already submitted to Feyenoord. The Dutch club, however, is holding out for €35 million. Milan is also keeping an eye on Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca as an alternative. Meanwhile, Tottenham has inquired about Fikayo Tomori, a situation that could further shake up the Rossoneri’s transfer plans.

Napoli is pushing hard for Fiorentina’s 18-year-old defender Pietro Comuzzo. The Partenopei have offered a package worth €25 million (including €5 million for an initial loan and €20 million for a mandatory purchase), plus €5 million in bonuses. However, Fiorentina is standing firm at €40 million. Talks are ongoing, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis considering an improved bid.

Fiorentina is also making moves on multiple fronts. Discussions with Juventus for Nicolò Fagioli are progressing, with good relations between the clubs—following Moise Kean’s transfer—potentially smoothing the way for a deal. Nicolò Zaniolo has also expressed interest in a move to Florence, but Atalanta will only sanction his departure if they secure a suitable attacking replacement. Meanwhile, Daniel Maldini has officially completed his move to Atalanta. Monza will receive €15 million for the deal, with half of that sum going to Milan due to a resale clause. The Brianzoli have also signed Castrovilli from Lazio, though negotiations for Rayan Cherki remain complicated due to high agent fees.

Cesare Casadei’s future remains uncertain, with Lazio currently leading the race for the Chelsea midfielder. Torino, however, has not given up hope. Today is expected to be a decisive day, with Lazio awaiting Chelsea’s final response. Unexpected twists are still possible, as both Porto and Monaco have recently inquired about the player. With the transfer deadline fast approaching, Lazio is eager to secure a deal before time runs out.
