I'm wondering what Galatasaray will do about signing a striker. Icardi's loan contract is about to end by the end of the month. His contribution to the team in winning the Super League title was really huge. Despite not playing a full season he still scored nearly the same amount as the number of games he played.
After seeing his performance me and so many other supporters don't want to see him leaving just now. But the conditions he demanded from Galatasaray are really big. As far as I know he wanted €40m for three years. This is too much for us and there is no way we can afford him by not selling any important player.
Okan Buruk thought of Mostafa Mohamed for this position but thankfully he is back at Nantes.
I don't want him to be the replacement because there is a huge quality difference between him and Icardi.
Galatasaray became the champion of last season. Icardı had an important share in this championship. When you have a good striker in Turkey, you can progress more easily on the way to the championship. Galatasaray is aware of this, although there were financial problems last season, the transfer of Icardi took place somehow, even if it was on loan, it was a savior. He wouldn't have gone to a low-level striker like Mustafa Mohammed. Fortunately, Okan Buruk was sold and survived. I wish him luck with this player in the team he went to. For now, Anastasios Douvika has started to be in the news in the Greek press, the offer for the young actor is ready, let's see what the reality will be, maybe they can think of other alternatives.
Icardi could still be bought, Galatasaray is trying to sell some players f rom what I see, and if the ycan sell some of those players then they could end up getting Icardi, I mean if they really want him that much of course, I do not know if they really want him that much. From what I heard they were looking for another striker, and to purchase him as well so not as a loan.
Latest news on transfermarkt that I saw was that they were very very keen on Moise Kean (pun intended lol) and that would be an insane transfer. They have Zaniolo right now, they have Mertens, and they may have Kean as well, those three alone guarantees that they would have a great forward line, along with Kerem playing, those four could be enough for UCL together. Not sure if it would happen, but looks a better deal than Icardi to me.
