Speaking on the development, via a tweet, Romano wrote: “Álvaro Morata will become new Como player from AC Milan… as soon as Victor Osimhen re-joins Galatasaray.
“The condition for Gala to break Morata loan deal and send him back to Italy is new striker to join.
“And Osimhen’s currently one step away from Gala return.”
