Galatasaray have opened talks with PSG over the transfer of Argentinian forward Mauro Icardi (30), according to a report from Le Parisien. The former Inter skipper is tied to PSG on a contract set to expire in 2024. Despite a very promising start to his PSG career, Icardi faltered quickly, scoring only five goals in 30 games played in all competitions last season. He was sent on loan to the Turkish side at the start of the current season, with Luís Campos and Christophe Galtier not counting on him for the time being.
Nevertheless, Icardi seems to have found his goalscoring boots again with the Istanbul-based outfit. The Argentine is currently averaging one goal contribution per game. He has scored ten goals and registered seven assists in 17 games played in all competitions for Galatasaray. Icardi has proven indispensable for the Turkish outfit, so much so that Galatasaray have opened talks with PSG over a definitive transfer for their striker, according to Le Parisien. The outlet reports that Galatasaray will value Icardi at around €10m. It is expected that PSG will sign off on the eventual departure of their once-underperforming striker.
