The Argentine striker Mauro Icardi's entry into the final year of his contract with Galatasaray has sparked transfer rumors. It is reported that the Mexican club Club America wants to add Icardi to their squad, and that the Saudi Arabian team NEOM SC has also offered the player a two-season contract worth 10 million euros per year.

Galatasaray's Argentine star Mauro Icardi has been the subject of striking transfer rumors from Mexico and Saudi Arabia regarding his future.

ENTERING THE LAST YEAR OF HIS CONTRACT

Mauro Icardi, who was injured in the match against Tottenham last season and spent a long time away from the pitch, has returned to the team in the new season and regained his goal-scoring rhythm.

Continuing to score in the Super League, the star player still faces criticism at times due to his physical condition, but he remains one of Galatasaray's most effective players. However, the fact that the Argentine striker is entering the last year of his contract with the yellow-reds has reignited transfer rumors.

SURPRISE INTEREST FROM MEXICO

According to a report by UNANIMO Deportes in the Mexican press, Club America wants to add Mauro Icardi to their squad. The report states that the lack of an effective striker in the Mexican representative's team and the desire to maintain their status in the league are among the main reasons for the transfer interest. It was noted that Icardi's contract will expire at the end of the season, and the transfer could take place in January for a reasonable transfer fee or for free at the end of the season.

"DAZZLING" TRANSFER

The potential transfer of Icardi to Club America has been described as a "dazzling signing" in the Mexican press. However, the Argentine star's annual salary, which reaches 7.5 million euros, is significantly above the salary cap of the Mexican team. The report emphasized that the Club America management might have to stretch their financial conditions for the transfer to happen.

SAUDIS ALSO IN THE GAME

The Saudi Arabian team NEOM SC, which wanted to acquire Barış Alper Yılmaz during the summer transfer period but was unsuccessful, has now set its sights on Mauro Icardi.

According to Tuttomercato, the Saudi club has offered Icardi a two-season contract at an annual salary of 10 million euros. It is stated that the transfer is expected to take place in January.

HIS PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON

32-year-old Mauro Icardi has played 9 official matches for Galatasaray this season, accumulating 373 minutes on the pitch and scoring 5 goals. As Icardi continues to play a key role in the team's attack, his future will become clearer depending on both Galatasaray management's planning and the seriousness of the incoming offers.
