Icardi snaps for Galatasaray Istanbul like in his best days in the jersey of Inter Milan. At the end of the season, the Argentinian could end up back in Italy.
Mauro Icardi contributed 13 goals and seven assists in 17 Süper Lig games to give Galatasaray Istanbul a clear lead in the table after the 28th matchday. The Lions are six points clear of pursuers Fenerbahce.
The downside of success: Icardi, who joined the Bosphorus on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in September 2022, will be hard to keep for Galatasaray when his loan contract expires at the end of June 2023.
Galatasaray wants to sign the ex-national striker but, according to media reports, offers a maximum of ten million euros. With all caution, Icardi’s regular club PSG will not be satisfied with this fee. PSG finally paid €50m for the centre-forward to Inter Milan in the summer of 2020.
