The arrival of Mauro Icardi a Turkey had several weeks of engineering and an agreement with the paris st germain which unleashed the madness of the fans of the Galatasaray who warmly welcomed the Argentine striker before signing the seasonal loan agreement.
The operation was possible because the football market in Turkey will close on Thursday, unlike most of the major European leagues. Although unofficially, the terms of the contract transcended: The player will support the collection of almost eight million euros per year, which the two clubs will pay together for the duration of the loan..
Galatasaray will be responsible for three million of the amount, while PSG will be responsible for the rest. The loan has a duration of one year and there is no purchase option: in 2023 the attacker will have to return to Paris.
The images released on social networks showed a large crowd of fans in ecstasy, waiting for the Argentine at Ataturk airport.
The agreement was confirmed by Icardi on his social networks. He has published a photo of him with the lion tattoo imprinted on his chest in which the animal’s eyes show the red and yellow colors, the same as the Galatasaray jacket.
The 29-year-old Argentinian striker left PSG because he was not taken into consideration by the coach of Christophe Galtier. On Thursday, after the rigorous medical examinations, he will sign the contract.
Galatasaray are Turkey’s most competitive team, but last season they finished in 13th place, the worst season in their history.
a life of luxury
As published by the newspaper Hurry up, what will not change for the family he made up with Wanda Nara is luxury. She revealed that they were both in Turkey on August 17 and 18 and that at that time they would give the go-ahead to live in “a villa overlooking the Bosphorus in Bebek” on loan from the club. That site is recognized to be one of the most distinguished on the European coast.
The club executives “showed them the villas” they could move into if they decided to sign and it was there that Wanda Nara, as a representative, “reached an agreement” for this house in Bebek.
“The Galatasaray administration has made a great effort in the last month to convince Icardi,” the newspaper said, noting that it had specially invited the attacker’s wife to Istanbul to “introduce him to the beauties of the city” while she was ” housed in a luxury hotel “in the Kuruçeşme neighborhood that would cost around $ 1,800 per night.
The mechanism has worked, since the entrepreneur has not hidden her praise for that country in the last hours and this Thursday her partner will sign the loan.
