Former Juventus forward has made it clear he won\u2019t remain at Galatasaray if the club allows Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen to leave the club, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alvaro Morata, who joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from AC Milan, is expected to remain with the Turkish champions until January 20, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Spanish striker was brought in to fill the void left by Mauro Icardi, who suffered a season-ending injury earlier in the campaign.<\/p>\n

Along the line, the former LOSC Lille forward and the Spaniard have grown good bonds since his arrival in February, with both of them spotted doing the cim bom bom ritual together.<\/p>\n

In fact, Morata has a few times hyped Super Eagles\u2019 second all-time goal scorer<\/a> when asked about his thoughts on Osimhen, and he admitted that he was quite impressed with the 26-year-old Super Eagles star.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOsimhen is a great person and one of the best centre forwards in the world,\u201d Morata said, per Sports Digitale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope we will all celebrate the championship together. This is an incredible country, my family is very happy here, I want it to continue like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Turkish outlet Sabah<\/a>, the Spanish striker, who joined Galatasaray as a backup for injured Icardi, reportedly told the club\u2019s hierarchy, \u201cIf you don\u2019t replace Osimhen, I\u2019ll stay at Galatasaray.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Since Osimhen\u2019s loan ends at the end of the season, Morata\u2019s stance suggests he is only willing to leave the Turkish champions if a proper replacement is not signed for the Nigerian forward.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, he is prepared to stay and continue leading the line for the Yellow Reds.<\/p>\n

Since arriving in Istanbul, the former Real Madrid man has scored four goals in eight Super Lig appearances, quickly establishing himself as a key figure in the squad.<\/p>\n

With Osimhen still at the club and no immediate replacement lined up, Morata\u2019s future remains uncertain as the January 2026 loan expiry date approaches.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
