Reports: Morata’s move to Galatasaray could be an 18-month loan – the figures | OneFootball

AC Milan and Alvaro Morata are parting ways, but the breakdown of the deal has not been clarified yet, with multiple options flying around.

Morata will head to Istanbul today to sign with Galatasaray, but there are still some details of the deal yet to be fully confirmed, with some reports suggesting differently. Either way, it seems like it could be a less-than-ideal structure.

Earlier today, Matteo Moretto reported that the Spaniard would leave on an 18-month loan, with the option to buy priced at €8 million. However, there was no clarification of when this could be activated.

However, Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that the deal instead could be structured as a six-month loan. In his report, he states that another 12 months could be added to the loan in the summer, but a ‘buy obligation’ is currently missing, which imaginably would change things.

An 18-month loan deal, in some ways, feels like a loss for the Rossoneri. Hypothetically, Morata could depart to Galatasary and return in 2026, turning 34 in that same year, and in this time, his mercato value could have dropped significantly, with a very high wage not impacted at all.

Of course, this is hypothetical, but is imagined that the club will be looking for a definitive end to the Spaniard’s time now, even if it is a loan originally.
