Alvaro Morata has completed his surprise loan move to Turkish side Galatasaray for £5million after just six disappointing months at AC Milan.
The Spanish national team captain joined the reigning Super Lig champions until January 2026, but according to the Italian side, his contract includes a permanent buy-clause.

He said: ‘When you have really tough times, depression, panic attacks, it doesn’t matter what job you do, what situation you have in life, you have another person inside that you have to fight against every day and every night.
