Morata leaves Galatasaray with a fiery message

Spanish striker Alvaro Morata officially announced his departure from Turkish club Galatasaray, sending an emotional farewell message to the club's fans and teammates. However, the message was not without sharp criticism of the board, which he accused of "disrespecting promises and core values." In a statement posted on his social media accounts, Morata said: “From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the love and support you have showered on me since day one. My family and I have felt at home. Your support has been one of the most beautiful things I have experienced in my football career.” But the tone changed when he addressed his relationship with the club's management, stating: "Unfortunately, my relationship with the board of directors was not of the same level of respect. There were promises that were not kept, and core values that were not respected. I was forced to give up part of my salary and my due rights, which is something I do not accept easily." The Spanish striker explained that his decision to leave was based on full conviction, saying: "There are principles that must not be compromised, especially when it comes to respect and appreciation for the work I have done. Ignoring what has been achieved was the straw that broke the camel's back." Concluding his message, Morata thanked the coaching staff, his teammates, and the Galatasaray fans, saying, "Istanbul will always be in my heart. I wish the club and its fans every success in the future." For his part, reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Morata is on the cusp of a new experience in the Italian league, following his official signing with Como, noting that all contracts have already been finalized.
