Dursun Özbek has made his decision regarding Icardi

Galatasaray is preparing to sit back down at the table for Mauro Icardi, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Notable developments have occurred that debunk the rumors of a departure circulating in the foreign press regarding the Argentine striker's future. Despite the farewell frequently mentioned in the Italian press, it is stated that the yellow-red club's president, Dursun Özbek, is determined to keep Icardi in the squad.

According to information reported by Habertürk, Dursun Özbek's plan is to offer Icardi a 2-year contract, with the final year being an option. However, it is noted that the Argentine footballer favors a longer-term agreement. It was recorded that the star player is open to signing a contract covering 3 seasons, worth a total of 20 million euros.

It was reported that the Icardi camp believes an agreement can be reached on financial terms, while the Galatasaray management is in the process of evaluating the 3-year contract option. It was emphasized that no final decision has been reached between the parties yet.

Mauro Icardi, who has played in 108 official matches for Galatasaray to date, has scored 69 goals and provided 22 assists in these appearances.
