Mauro Icardi, who has played a significant role in Galatasaray's last three Super League championships and has become a fan favorite, epitomized by their song 'Aşkın Olayım', is in the final year of his contract. Despite suffering a major injury last season, the Argentine striker managed to make a comeback this season. However, there has been no progress in contract negotiations between him and Galatasaray. According to rumors originating from Italy, Milan is reportedly interested in securing Icardi's transfer.

It has been speculated that Mauro Icardi, who clinched three championships in his three-season tenure at Galatasaray, might be on the verge of parting ways with Turkey.

According to claims made by the Italian press, specifically Tuttosport, Milan, in its quest to bolster its squad with an experienced striker, has added Icardi, whose contract with Galatasaray will expire at the end of the season, to its transfer list.

The report highlighted that Icardi, whose contract with Galatasaray is set to expire, could be transferred without a fee. Consequently, it was emphasized that Milan's interest in the seasoned striker has surged.

Icardi had climbed the ranks all the way to captaincy at Inter, the arch-rival of Milan.

The Argentine striker is renowned as one of the most prominent scorers to have played in Italy. Icardi, who ascended to the captaincy at a young age with Inter, Milan's archrival, also claimed the title of top scorer twice.

It's speculated that Galatasaray won't propose a contract to Icardi unless he agrees to a reduction in his current deal. This season, the Argentine forward has appeared in 15 matches with Galatasaray and netted 6 goals.
