In recent hours, an astonishing rumor has gained weight on the Real Madrid side. In search of one since the departure of Karim Benzema, the Turkish press announced that Real Madrid was studying the trail leading to Mauro Icardi. And if the Madrid club has since denied any arrival of the former PSG striker, the player’s entourage has confirmed concrete contacts between the two camps.
I’m in Madrid at the moment. Real Madrid have not made an official offer for Icardi, but we are speaking with Real management. I’m going to Istanbul on Monday to meet Erden Timur (Galatasaray vice-president) and I will also, of course, spend time with Mauro. I cannot say more at the moment,” said agent Elio Letterio Pino, in comments relayed by the newspaper “AS”.
