Mauro Icardi enjoyed a tremendous time with Galatasaray.

The striker, who is signed to Paris Saint-Germain, scored 21 goals and delivered seven assists in 24 appearances in all competitions, starting 20 of those games.

It was thought that Galatasaray would like to keep Icardi, but Real Madrid, who were linked to the 30-year-old last summer, may look to take full advantage of the situation.

Icardi’s agent and wife, Wanda Nara, has posted on social media, suggesting that another year in Turkey isn’t on the cards.

“I congratulate all Galatasaray fans. I feel part of this big family, I know Mauro and I knew from day one that he would lift this trophy. I remember very well the day when I convinced him, in Paris. Today we celebrate with you, our dream has come true.

“We will never forget our Galatasaray family, we will forever carry you in our hearts.” This is seen as a farewell message from the player's companion. This also has cause for concern for PSG, which is counting a priori on its sale. To be continued in the next episode…”

Icardi helped his loanee side win the Turkish Super Lig title last season. His efforts have seen a number of elite sides linked to him.

Wanda Nara posts a congratulatory message to Galatasaray and fans, closing with, “our dream came true and we will never forget Galatasaray and will always carry you in our hearts.”

PSG are looking for an elite striker to come in, along with a couple of wing-forwards should Neymar and Lionel Messi end up leaving.

The club may look to bring in a player of Victor Osimhen’s calibre, but the Napoli ace would be out of their price range if his current club demand his fee in one hit.
