Morata’s future hangs in the balance amid a transfer triangle involving Galatasaray, and Como. While the Spanish striker remains on loan at Galatasaray from Milan, he has long committed verbally to join Como under fellow Spaniard Cesc Fabregas. However, the move is in limbo, delayed by Galatasaray’s aggressive push to permanently sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

Galatasaray’s pursuit of Osimhen from Napoli has hit a wall due to financial and contractual complications, including instalment terms, resale clauses, and an anti- condition. These delays are affecting other deals, most notably Morata’s expected return to Milan and subsequent move to Como. With Mauro Icardi sidelined by injury, coach Okan Buruk has halted Morata’s exit, bringing him back for pre-season training. While the Spaniard had already pledged to join Como, no further developments will be allowed to take place until Galatasaray reach a resolution with regards to Osimhen.

Como await Morata’s arrival after receiving his and Milan’s green light, but Galatasaray’s stalled Osimhen negotiations have put the move on hold. While Como have bolstered their squad impressively, Morata remains the missing piece. The deal hasn’t collapsed, but it’s no longer the near-certainty it once appeared. Galatasaray had initially cleared Morata’s return to , supporting his planned move to Como. However, a final agreement with the Rossoneri is still pending. Morata’s loan, which is active until January 2026, includes a future buyout option, but the Turkish giants are unlikely to activate it.

Everything depends on whether Osimhen can join Galatasaray. The Nigerian international has been linked with numerous big clubs such as , , Juventus and , but it is unlikely that he will be joining one of those names.
