Searching for the Fluminense for a number 9 has been agitating fans in recent days, and a rumor involving the name of the Argentine striker Mauro Icardicurrently at Galatasaray and aged 32, gained strength on social media. Despite the repercussion, Fluminense does not have ongoing conversations with the Argentine striker, according to the website “ge.com”.
Icardi: salary at Galatasaray
At the beginning of January, the Tricolor board even carried out a survey for the player, but assessed that the operation would not be financially viable. To wear the club’s shirt, Icardi would need to accept a considerable salary reduction. Currently, the striker receives around R$62.3 million per year at Galatasaray, which is equivalent to approximately R$5.2 million per month.
In addition to the financial issue, the Turkish club did not signal interest in releasing the athlete in the middle of the season.
Icardi: How is Galatasaray?
Although he is not an absolute starter, Icardi is often used, especially when Victor Osimhen is unavailable, as occurred during the African Cup of Nations dispute.
Even with an average of just 48 minutes on the field per match, the Argentine scored 10 goals in 28 games for Galatasaray this season, as well as two assists.
Icardi: contract length at Galatasaray and interested parties
Icardi only has a contract with the Turkish team until June 30, but has already received inquiries from other European clubs and River Plate-ARG. The European teams, however, were not leaked.
Revealed by Sampdoria, he built a distinguished career at Inter Milan, spent time at Paris Saint-Germain and has been at Galatasaray for four seasons.
