Morata set for loan to Galatasaray from AC Milan

Alvaro Morata is set for a loan move to Galatasaray from AC Milan after the Turkish champions announced on Sunday that negotiations between the two clubs had begun.

Text size:

"Official negotiations have begun for the loan of Alvaro Morata," Galatasaray said in a short statement on social media.

Spain captain Morata is close to leaving Milan after disappointing since signing from Atletico Madrid in the summer as a replacement for fan favourite Olivier Giroud.

The 32-year-old has scored just six times in 24 appearances in all competitions for Milan, who sit eighth in Serie A ahead of Sunday's local derby with champions Inter Milan.

Milan are set to announce the arrival of Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord for a reported fee of 32 million euros ($33 million), with the Mexico striker arriving in northern Italy on Saturday night to complete the transfer.

Galatasaray lead the Turkish Super Lig by six points from Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce.
