In a developing story from Turkey, football analyst Ertem Şener has announced that Mauro Icardi, who shares the forward line with Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray, is expected to leave the Süper Lig champions when the summer transfer window opens.
Speaking on his personal YouTube channel, Şener offered insights into the club’s upcoming transfer strategy. According to him, conversations with Galatasaray officials have made it clear that the Argentine striker will not continue with the team.
“After my discussion with the Galatasaray management today, it is evident that they are preparing to let Icardi go,” Şener said, as reported by Habersarikirmizi.
He went on to explain that there is tension between Icardi and the coaching staff. “Icardi holds some resentment toward the coach—or perhaps it’s more accurate to say he has adopted a certain attitude. He is showing a disruptive behavior within the squad.”
Şener believes the separation is the right move for both parties. “It is in the best interest of Galatasaray for Icardi to leave. The club should thank him for his contributions and move on.”
Since Osimhen joined from Napoli, Icardi has been relegated to a backup role, losing his spot as the team’s primary striker. This shift in hierarchy is believed to be a key factor behind the growing discord.
