PSG currently has several players on loan, 8 to be exact. In this list is Mauro Icardi, a player who has never managed to win in the capital. Today in Turkey, in Galatasaray, the Argentinian now wants to build his future in the Istanbul club.
PSG currently has several players on loan, but the regulations impose a scale of 8 loaned players on the club. The official list of players on loan from PSG is therefore made up of: Icardi (Galatasaray), Wijnaldum (AS Roma), Diallo (RB Leipzig), Dagba (RC Strasbourg), Kurzawa (Fulham), Draxler (Benfica), Paredes (Juventus Turin) and therefore Navas (Nottingham Forest).
It should be noted that the players trained at the club do not fall into this category otherwise the PSG would have largely exceeded this quota with the many titis who left to harden elsewhere before returning to the club.
Icardi does not want to return to Paris
Under contract at PSG until 2024, Mauro Icardi was loaned last summer to Galatasaray, with whom he scored 10 goals in 17 appearances this season, in addition to 7 assists. If the Turkish club would like to converse with the 30-year-old Argentinian striker, they will have to reach an agreement with PSG on a transfer fee since the loan does not include a purchase option. The Italian striker confided in the microphone of the Turkish media Sabah : « I want to stay in Galatasaray. I was in the same team as the best players in the world, but when I went out on the streets in France, I felt nothing. Here I have incredible attention, everyone comes up to me and wants to take a picture. I feel this pure love, I am very happy here”.
For the moment, the Istanbul training only supports 750,000 euros out of the 6.75 million euros of his annual salary. But the Turkish club says it is ready to make an offer of 15 million euros to acquire Icardi.
But the club, chaired by Burak Elmas, is not the only one wanting to sign the 30-year-old striker. In effect, AS Roma and AC Milan would also be ready to make an offer during the next summer transfer window.
In the end, a boon for Paris Saint-Germain, which should not have too much trouble finding takers for Icardi.
