The 4-year Mauro Icardi era at Galatasaray has ended. Icardi, who achieved countless successes while wearing the yellow-red jersey, has also found a new owner for his number 9 jersey. Here are the details...
A period in Galatasaray has officially come to an end. Mauro Icardi, who became a fan favorite over four seasons wearing the red and yellow jersey and played a leading role in the successes achieved, has left the team with the expiration of his contract.
GALATASARAY'S NEW NUMBER 9 ANNOUNCED
Following the Argentine star's farewell, the red and yellow management has also finalized the future of the number 9 jersey as part of their new season planning. After Icardi's departure, Galatasaray's management and technical team, reshaping the attacking line, have designated Nigerian star Victor Osimhen as the new number 9 for the red and yellows.
WILL BE THE SOLE LEADER OF THE ATTACK
Entrusting the number 9 jersey to Osimhen, who is expected to be the team's central figure with both his on-field leadership and goalscoring identity, is seen as the biggest indicator of Galatasaray's attacking strategy for the new season.
