After the match where Super League giant Galatasaray defeated Göztepe 3-1, Hasan Şaş made striking statements regarding Mauro Icardi's future.
“GALATASARAY WOULD SIGN A CONTRACT THIS WEEK”
Speaking on the sporON YouTube channel, Hasan Şaş expressed that the contract process could progress differently depending on Icardi's performance. Şaş said, “If Icardi had scored 2 goals in the Trabzonspor match last week and felt Galatasaray more, this week Galatasaray would have signed a contract with him.”
“CONCENTRATION IS AFFECTED BY CONTRACT UNCERTAINTY”
Addressing Icardi's current situation, Şaş stated that the uncertainty regarding the contract affects the player's performance. He mentioned, “It comes to the point of how I will concentrate in a place where I haven't signed a contract,” and expressed that this process affects both parties.
LEAVE PROCESS AND MANAGEMENT CRITICISM
Hasan Şaş said that despite Icardi frequently taking leave, the management and coaching staff are handling the situation. He stated, “We have come to the last week of the league, Icardi is taking 10 days off. If you were the president, how would you renew this contract?”
“ICARDI ALSO THINKS ‘THEY WON'T SIGN’”
Şaş noted that the star player also thinks that the club will not renew his contract, stating that this situation leads to a loss of motivation. He emphasized that both parties need to take clearer steps to resolve the process.
