The crisis between Galatasaray and Mauro Icardi regarding image rights has been resolved, and the parties have reached an agreement.
The Mauro Icardi crisis that began during the national break at Galatasaray has been resolved following discussions. An agreement has been reached between the club and the Argentine star.
LAWYERS INTERVENED
After the warning letter sent by Icardi's lawyer to the club, the player's receivables came to the fore. While the lawyers of both parties came together for payments that included manager commissions, a settlement was reached as a result of the discussions.
4 MILLION EURO ISSUE RESOLVED
It was stated that the crisis stemmed from delays in image rights payments amounting to approximately 4 million euros for the star player. With the agreement made between the parties, the issue was sweetened.
THE BACKSTORY OF THE PROCESS REVEALED
It was known that Icardi, who earns a guaranteed salary of 6 million euros annually at Galatasaray, also generates additional income from image rights. The fact that the payment in question stemmed from individual agreements outside the club caused the process to become complicated.
RETURN TO TURKEY DELAYED
On the other hand, it was learned that the delay in the Argentine player's return to Turkey was influenced by his personal life. The acceptance of Icardi's application to the court in his home country to see his children for a longer period extended the return process.
"THE INTRUSIVENESS OF HIS AGENT"
Galatasaray Secretary General Eray Yazgan stated regarding the issue, "Icardi is not even aware of the incident. It is the intrusiveness of his agent. We are making all payments to all players gradually. We will already send the debt-free document to UEFA on March 30. Can we obtain such a document without making the payments? This is an operation aimed at damaging Galatasaray and President Dursun Özbek.
There are rumors that Torreira will leave, Barış Alper will depart, and there is an offer for Uğurcan… We are being played with transfer games. We will not fall for these games. We are moving forward for our championship and goals. We have paid 75 million euros for Osimhen so far. We have made payments for players' annual salaries and transfer fees this season. 4 million euros would be a tip for us. Everyone will see who owes whom. They are trying to discredit Icardi in the eyes of the fans with these news."
