Morata, who joined Milan from Atlético Madrid last summer, will receive a guaranteed salary of €6 million for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

AC Milan advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic commented on Morata’s departure, stating, “Alvaro is a great person and a great player. I wish him the best because he deserves it. Certain situations for different reasons it doesn’t click. In football it happens.”

Morata, a former Real Madrid and Chelsea player, brings a wealth of experience to Galatasaray.

He has won numerous trophies throughout his career, including two Champions League titles with Real Madrid and two Serie A titles with Juventus.

This move provides Galatasaray with a significant boost in their attacking options as they continue to compete for the Turkish Super Lig title.
