“If you ask me to name 10 real centre forwards in the world, three of them are currently under contract with Galatasaray,” Ozan said on the Vole Youtube channel.
“Morata is not a great finisher like Icardi, but he is a complete forward. He would be compatible with Osimhen.”
Osimhen has been impressive since joining Galatasaray, scoring 17 goals in 22 matches.
On his part, Icardi, who has been out with a knee injury since November, 2024, has netted six times across all competitions.
