AS names the most likely striker to join Real Madrid in January
Real Madrid is short on troops. From the beginning of the season, white fans demanded more additions in attack , since they considered that the squad was going to be very fair given the large number of games they play during the season.
After Vinicius’ injuries, he will not return until February, and Güler, who has not yet been able to make his debut, there is once again the debate about the depth of Madrid’s forward line, given the imminent winter transfer window. Only Joselu, Rodrygo and Brahim are available. From Madrid they are clear and assure that they will not sign anyone.
One of the players who have been linked to the white team is Icardi. It is not the first time that the Argentine’s name has come up to reinforce the attack of Ancelotti’s team.
Now, given this new information, his agent and lawyer, Elio Letterio Pino, spoke to the Turkish media Fanatik about his and Madrid’s player: “There is still no official offer. I’m in Madrid right now (yesterday). Real Madrid has not made any offer for Icardi. They have not made an official offer yet. But we are talking to those responsible for Real Madrid .”
The agent surprises with these statements, since he assures that there are conversations between Icardi and the white club about a possible arrival in winter. The representative himself assures that he will now travel to Turkey after having been in Madrid: “ I will go to Istanbul on Monday to meet with Erden Timur, vice president of Galatasaray. I will watch the Galatasaray – Manchester United Champions League match on Wednesday. Of course, I will also spend time with Mauro. I cannot say anything more for now .”
The 30-year-old Argentine, during this season , has played a total of 20 games with the Turkish team, in which he has scored 15 goals , two of them in the Champions League, and three assists. Icardi, already last year in Turkey, showed that he still has many goals to score, since he finished the season with 23 goals and distributed 8 assists.
The sale price that Galatasaray would ask for would be around 15 million. Madrid continues to report that he will not attend the winter market, but Icardi’s agent lets himself be loved by Madrid and reports that there are contacts . Meanwhile, Madrid is pulling from its youth ranks with Nico Paz and Gonzalo García.
