Galatasaray's Argentine footballer Mauro Icardi, currently sidelined due to injury, continues to stay in the spotlight through developments in his private life and social media posts. Following his divorce process with Wanda Nara, Icardi, who has begun a new relationship with China Suarez, spent enjoyable moments with his partner in Istanbul.

Before returning to Argentina, the couple toured Beyoğlu and took photos at historical sites in Istanbul. To avoid being recognized, Icardi wore a balaclava and shared photos on social media from locations such as the Hagia Sophia Mosque and the Galata Bridge. However, the most notable post was a snapshot of them sitting on a bench in Karaköy.

This photo was marked on Google Maps as a "tourist attraction" drawing significant attention among fans. This situation recalled the time when the bench Arda Turan sat on in Barcelona became popular. Despite wearing a mask, Icardi could not escape the interest of his fans, and his trip to Istanbul resonated widely on social media.
