No more Osimhen — Expert explains how Morata signing affects Nigerian striker

Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello reportedly reconcile 5 months after divorce

Turkish football expert Ugur Karakullukcu explained the effect of Galatasaray’s acquisition of Alvaro Morata on Victor Osimhen.

A Turkish football analyst, Ugur Karakullukcu, suggests that the signing of Alvaro Morata spells the end of Galataray’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen.

As Pulse Sports reported, the Cim-Bom have completed a deal for Morata from AC Milan. He more or less comes in as a replacement for the injured Icardi; however, there is also a Victor Osimhen angle.

The rejected bid for Osimhen 

Galatasaray’s desire to sign Osimhen permanently is well-reported. The Super Lig champions have expressed their desire to keep him beyond his loan deal and have even sent in a formal offer. 

Ordinarily, the transfer fee required to sign Osimhen is significantly higher than the Cim-Bom typically spend on purchases; however, it is believed they found partnerships with sponsors to get the funds needed.

As Pulse Sports reported, Galatasaray submitted an offer worth €65 million, which would make the Nigerian their record signing by some distance, but Napoli rejected the deal, insisting on the stipulated €75 million release clause. 

Napoli will not let Victor Osimhen leave the club for cheap.

What Karakullukcu said 

According to Karakullukcu, Morata’s arrival means Galatasaray will quit their Osimhen pursuit, focusing on strengthening other areas of the pitch. 

“I think Galatasaray will close the Osimhen transfer book with the Morata transfer,” he said, per GsGazette. “He will leave at the end of the season. Wait, wait, wait, get another centre forward for this team. 

“This is not a matter of Morata being good or bad. It’s a situation related to squad engineering. You don’t have a full-back, you don’t have an alternative midfield.”
