Galatasaray told Icardi, whose contract has expired and who has been offered a new deal, that they do not want to wait any longer and asked him to make a decision as soon as possible. The yellow-red management has also identified an alternative in case the Argentine striker leaves. Here are the details...
Galatasaray continues its alternative preparations against the potential departure of Mauro Icardi, whose contract is set to expire. The yellow-red management has put Manchester City's Omar Marmoush back on its agenda.
ICARDI'S ALTERNATIVE CONFIRMED
Galatasaray's management sent a message to Icardi's agent: "If a decision is not made, we will proceed with the transfer process." Not sitting idle, the yellow-reds have taken action based on their prepared transfer list and set Omar Marmoush as their first target.
LOAN WITH PURCHASE OPTION
Omar Marmoush, who was pursued for a mid-season transfer, is once again on Galatasaray's radar. Currently competing in the World Cup with the Egyptian National Team, the 27-year-old attacking player seems unlikely to secure regular playing time at Manchester City in the new season. Galatasaray aims to bring in the star player through a loan model with a purchase option.
SEASON PERFORMANCE
The Egyptian forward, who contributed 8 goals and 3 assists in 36 matches last season wearing the Manchester City jersey, has a contract with his team until 2029.
