The future of Mauro Icardi, who is eagerly awaited at Süper Lig giant Galatasaray, has been announced regarding which team he will play for next season. Argentine journalist Pablo Cecchini spoke about Icardi's future and announced the team the star player will transfer to.
"ICARDI VERY CLOSE TO RIVER PLATE"
Expressing that the Argentine player is preparing to sign with one of his country's teams, River Plate, Cecchini said, "Icardi's love for Newell's Old Boys is known by everyone, but looking at the point reached today, everything shows that Mauro is closer to River Plate, which has red and white colors. Icardi had shared photos of the Monumental Stadium a few years ago, giving signals that he could come here one day. The latest talks are very positive. If there is no surprise, he will be here in the new season."
"TALKS ARE EXTREMELY POSITIVE"
Reporting on River Plate's meeting with Icardi, Cecchini stated, "Icardi is a name that has been on River Plate management's target for a long time. At the very beginning of 2026, with 6 months left until his contract with Galatasaray ends, a meeting for the transfer was arranged. The ongoing talks are extremely positive. Technical director Eduardo Coudet wants to play Icardi in attack alongside Driussi. Icardi or Giovanni Simeone are among the targets of River Plate management."
