Mercato: PSG confirms Mauro Icardi’s departure from Galatasaray

by time news

This time, the “loft” of unwanted players at PSG is completely emptied. As announced on our site on Wednesday, Mauro Icardi has just signed with Galatasaray, which he joins on a one-year loan, with no option to buy. Paris will cover 90% of the Argentinian’s salary, welcomed as a hero by hundreds of supporters on his arrival last night at Istanbul airport.

In a press release published on its official website on Thursday, PSG has just confirmed the departure of the 29-year-old striker, under contract until 2024 and who was not part of the plans of Luis Campos and Christophe Galtier. Mauro Icardi had been training on the sidelines of the group for almost a month.

Arrived in Paris in 2019, first in the form of a loan, then in permanent transfer a year later (50 million euros), the center-forward scored 38 goals in 92 games with the capital club.

He was one of the players on whom Paris no longer counts, like Georginio Wijnaldum, Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes, Idrissa Gueye, Julian Draxler or Thilo Kehrer, all of whom left during the summer. The transfer market closes this Thursday, September 8 in Turkey.
