Morata joined Galatasaray on-loan in January for the second half of the season. In a heartfelt farewell message to the club's fans, he thanked them for their love and support, but expressed his dissatisfaction with the management's handling of his contract.

Morata stated that commitments made by the management were not honored, and he was forced to give up part of his salary and other contractual rights that he had earned through his work. He emphasized the importance of respecting everyone's rights and compensating them fairly, which he felt was not upheld by the club.

Morata chose to share his side of the story with the fans, giving them a true explanation of what happened during his time at the club. He expressed his gratitude to the coach, staff, and teammates, and wished the club and the city of Istanbul all the best for the future.
