The pressure rises for Mauro Icardi. Divorced from Wanda Nara since March 21, Mauro Icardi is engaged in a legal battle with his ex-wife. The Galatasaray striker is in an showdown in Türkiye and Argentina concerning the guard of his two daughters, Francesca and Isabella, reports

Icardi filed a complaint with the Istanbul family affairs court and awaits a favorable outcome. However, this long procedure affects its morale, according to the Turkish media. Back on the ground after a breakdown of the cross ligaments last season, the Argentinian struggled to find the level expected by his club, despite 5 goals scored in 9 games in all competitions.
But the player also criticizes things to Galatasaray. The club game system, based on a single advanced striker, does not suit him. In addition, the club's priority is given to Victor Osimhen, which annoys Icardi. His frustration was accentuated in the match against Liverpool, where he only played for 18 minutes.
An uncertain future
The other point of tension between the two parties concerns the player's contractual situation. Mauro Icardi is under contract until June 2026 and wishes to be quickly fixed on his future. But the management of the Turkish club has still not opened discussions for a new lease, which affects its morale.
His trainer, Okan Buruk, should meet him after the international break in October to take stock and try to solve these problems. This will be an opportunity to mention your drop in morale and your excess weight. Buruk will then meet the board of directors to announce the decisions concerning the future of the attacker.
