Sergen Yalcin, former Besiktas coach, expressed his belief that Galatasaray would struggle to accommodate both Victor Osimhen and Alvaro Morata in their starting lineup.
The Nigeria international joined The Lion last September after unsuccessful transfers to Chelsea and Al-Ahli.
On the other hand, Morata signed on loan during the winter transfer window to replace the injured Mauro Icardi, who is currently out with an ACL injury.
Morata has scored three goals in eight games, while Osimhen has had an exceptional season, scoring 28 goals in 32 games across all competitions.
