The future of Mauro Icardi with Galatasaray remains uncertain. After his contract expired, his agent, Elio Pino, met with Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek and stated there are obstacles to extending the player’s contract. Pino highlighted that negotiations are ongoing but no agreement has been reached yet.
Galatasaray is seeking a significant salary reduction from the Argentine star, who currently earns around €10 million annually. The club is aiming for a cut exceeding 50% of his current salary. During this season, Icardi played in 47 matches for Galatasaray, scoring 16 goals and providing 3 assists.
The talks between the parties are continuing, but the key issue of Icardi's salary remains unresolved. Both sides are working towards a solution, but the outcome is still unclear. The club’s president, Dursun Özbek, has been actively involved in the discussions, inviting Icardi’s agent to Istanbul to discuss new contract terms.
