Sky are now reporting that Como will pay Galatasaray €3 million plus bonuses, in addition to the €12 million they will pay to Milan – for a total package of between €15-16 million.
Morata saga unblocked, move to Como imminent
If the reports are correct, nothing will prevent Morata from joining the Serie A side now. The player himself had already reached an agreement with Como and was trying to push for a transfer himself.

For Galatasaray, they will earn a tidy sum in compensation as they say goodbye to the striker who scored seven goals and provided three assists in 16 appearances for the Turkish club.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri have a four-man backup shortlist in attack. Right now, Inter Milan are still all-in on signing Ademola Lookman. However, Sky Sport Italia report, the Nerazzurri are accepting the possibility that their pursuit of the Nigerian could fail. Inter see Lookman as a perfect opportunity to bolster their attack with a proven commodity from within Serie A. However, they will not break the bank to sign the 27-year-old. And if Inter cannot sign Lookman for what they consider a reasonable fee, they will sign a different attacker. Inter Target Nkunku, Garnacho, Sancho & Nusa If Lookman Move Falls Through LEIPZIG, GERMANY – JANUARY 12: Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig looks on during the Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and SV Werder Bremen at Red Bull Arena on January 12, 2025 in Leipzig, Germany.

They are Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku and out-of-favour Manchester United duo Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho All three of the trio will certainly be available this summer. They are out of the plans at Chelsea and United, who are working to offload some players from their bloated squad. Therefore, Inter blieve that they could sign any of Nkunku, Garnacho, or Sancho on loan. On the other hand, Sky note, Inter are also keen on RB Leipzig forward Antonio Nusa.

Manchester City Are Showing Interest In This Talented Midfielder: Should Pep Snap Him Up?
In a recent report, Takvim mentioned that Manchester City are showing interest in Galatasaray midfielder Gabriel Sara this summer. It has been stated that the Mancunian club are facing competition from Manchester United in the race to land the Brazilian talent this off-season. Sara's Impressive Run Of Form In Turkish Football Sara enjoyed a good run of form at the Turkish club last season when he produced a series of impressive displays for them at the centre of the park. The Brazilian midfield ace featured in 45 matches for Galatasaray in the previous campaign, scoring two goals and earning ten assists in all competitions. The 26-year-old managed to catch the eye going forward by averaging 2.1 shots per 90 minutes in the Turkish Super Lig. He kept 23.6% of his attempts on target (stats via His current contract at Galatasaray will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for Man City to sign him on the cheap in this transfer window.

(Photo by) Should Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola Snap Sara Up? Sara can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the vision to create a few inviting chances for his teammates to find the back of the net. He is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and doesn't shy away from working hard for his side defensively at the centre of the park. The Brazilian sensation is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also fill in as a defensive midfielder or play in the number ten position if required. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if Man City manage to land him this summer. Sara would no doubt enhance the quality of Pep Guardiola's midfield department. He has what it takes to fight for regular first-team football at the Etihad Stadium next season. At 26, Sara has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a worthy target for the Mancunian giants to pursue in this transfer window. However, Guardiola has to give him some time before he can unlock the best out of the talented playmaker at the Etihad. All in all, Man City would be wise to go all out to snap him up this summer.
