Mauro Icardi, whose contract with Galatasaray has expired, spoke about his future and left the door open to a possible return to his former team Inter. Emphasizing that he wants to continue his career in Italy's Serie A, Icardi said that he misses Italy very much both personally and professionally.
After his contract with Galatasaray came to an end, Mauro Icardi, who bid farewell to the yellow-red club, spoke about his future. Assessing the period he spent without a club and the transfer offers, the Argentine striker announced the address where he wants to continue his career.
"I DIDN'T SIGN JUST TO HAVE A CLUB"
In an interview with La Repubblica ahead of the Milan-Inter derby to be played in Italy, the experienced striker stated that he had not foreseen this period of being without a club either, saying, "I wasn't expecting to remain without a team for this long either. However, I didn't want to make a hasty decision just so I would have a club. I received various offers, but rather than accepting projects that did not fully convince me, I preferred to wait for the right time."
HE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN TO INTER
Evaluating the possibility of a return to his former team Inter, Icardi said, "Returning to Inter would be special. I spent important years there, served as captain, and it became an important part of my career. My departure was painful; I would have liked to end my story there differently. However, a return only gains meaning with mutual belief and shared goals. I still have a lot to give; if I join a team, I am there to contribute and win."
HIS ROUTE IS ITALY AGAIN
The star footballer, who did not hide his desire to continue his career in Italy's Serie A, clearly set out his preference, saying, "I miss Italy very much. That is where I grew both as a person and as a player. I would like to return to Italy with projects that excite me and offer a strong vision for the future."
