Stoppage for Mauro Icardi, at 31 years old. After two XXL seasons with Galatasaray, with 23 and 32 goals in all competitions, the Argentine center forward was devastated by a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee three weeks ago during a Europa League match against Tottenham. The former PSG player had scored six times in 14 matches since the start of the year, partnering Victor Osimhen at the forefront of Aslan.
Speaking of his injured striker, Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk spoke of the personal problems that marred the career of Icardi, married to the sultry Wanda Nara. “I respect everything, his marriage, his wife, but if Icardi had not had problems with his wife, it would be completely different now”launched the former midfielder who passed through Inter and third in the 2022 World Cup with Turkey. A surprising statement since it targets the partner of one of its players…
Icardi weighed down by Wanda Nara in the selection?
Okan Buruk continues his argument: “Maybe he would have been the center forward of the Argentina team. Icardi probably lost a lot of things in his life because of this. He is an excellent family man, he has a very good heart and we have always helped him. Family is important in life. But football cannot be put aside, if the player is not happy, it is not possible to see him doing well on the pitch.”.
Top scorer in Serie A in 2015 and 2018 with Inter, of which he became captain, Icardi never really had his chance in Albiceleste. The Argentine press claimed that Lionel Messi was behind Icardi’s sidelining. Wanda Nara is in fact the ex-wife of her former teammate Maxi Lopez (and the latter is friends with “La Pulga”). Icardi was only a reserve for the 2018 World Cup and the 2019 Copa América. By losing his place at PSG, he moved away from Lionel Scaloni’s team which won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at the team’s expense. from France.
