The story has so many chapters that it already feels like a novel. Mauro Icardi is back in the spotlight and, once again, has nothing to do with sporting reasons. After a week in which the rumor of their separation from Wanda Narayour partner and representative, The striker was excluded from the squad for PSG’s Ligue 1 debut this Saturday.
The arrival of Galtier on the Paris Saint Germain bench made one think from the beginning that Icardi would lose his place in the manager’s consideration. Since he had given him a few minutes in the pre-season friendlies and no offer appeared for him to emigrate to the transfer market, the landscape seemed clearer for MI9, but He did not play in the French Super Cup last weekend and this Saturday, in the trip to Clermont, he will not even sit among the substitutes.
The PSG list, without Icardi.
Not even the loss of Kylian Mbappé (adductor muscle strain) made Icardi a spot on a list where he did both Lionel Messi and Leandro Paredes appear. So Pablo Sarabia, Arnaud Kalimuendo, a boy from the Inferiores who promises a lot or the newcomer Hugo Ekitike, who would make his debut, could appear to accompany Leo and Neymar in the attack.
Do they take care of him or show him the way out?
Mauro and Wanda, again in crisis.
What is clear is this Icardi has no physical problems and the decision not to take it into account for the championship debut is entirely sporting. Or not? Last year, when the relationship with China Suárez and the shootings on social networks with Wanda Nara exploded, the footballer had already missed a few PSG matches and Galtier could keep it in another delicate personal moment.
On the part of Icardi, he came out to deny the rumors about the divorce, despite the fact that in the first instance an audio of the same Wanda was leaked. But no less powerful is the possibility that the DT gives Mauro a clear message that will not be taken into consideration. If this is the case, Rosario will have until August 31, the closing date of the transfer market in Europe, to find a new team.
