The future of Mauro Icardi, the forward of the Turkish football team "Galatasaray", remains uncertain at the club.
Idman.Biz reports that although the Istanbul representative offered the Argentine footballer a new contract, no final agreement has been reached between the parties yet.
According to reports, the "Galatasaray" management offered the 33-year-old forward a salary of four million euros (eight million AZN) in exchange for a one-year contract. Icardi's representative, Elio Pino, does not consider these conditions sufficient. The Turkish press reports that the footballer wants a higher salary and a longer-term contract.
Icardi is expected to make his decision after returning from vacation. It is noted that club president Dursun Özbek wants the Argentine striker to stay in the team. However, it is claimed that "Galatasaray" does not plan to change the current offer.
It is reported that head coach Okan Buruk is not tying his plans solely to Icardi's decision. It is emphasized that the experienced specialist wants a new center forward transfer who will be an alternative to Viktor Osimhen.
In this direction, it is claimed that Bertuğ Yıldırım, the forward of the Turkish football team "Başakşehir", is also on "Galatasaray's" agenda.
It is assumed that if a new striker transfer takes place and Icardi stays in the team, the Argentine footballer may fall into the position of the third forward in the squad. This is shown as one of the factors that strengthens his separation option.
Icardi appeared in 31 games in the Turkish Super League last season. He was remembered for 14 goals and one productive assist in these matches.
