Morata, who came to Milan in the summer as a newly crowned European champion, has initially signed for Galatasaray Istanbul on loan for one year. With 5 goals in 16 league games, he was unable to meet the Rossoneri's expectations.

With the signing of Gimenez for over 30 million euros, Milan have a new attacking hope. The 23-year-old Mexican, who was born in Buenos Aires, has scored 65 goals in 105 games for Feyenoord Rotterdam over the past two and a half seasons.
