Icardi Turns Down Galatasaray Offer as Osimhen Becomes Club’s Leading Man
A Nigerian sports broadcaster with close ties to Victor Osimhen has revealed that Mauro Icardi has rejected Galatasaray’s latest contract proposal. The striker reportedly balked at a significant wage cut and a short-term deal. Turkish media had assumed Icardi would accept after Galatasaray’s president confirmed the club had formally offered an extension. But supporters are taking this update seriously, thanks to the broadcaster’s strong insider reputation from the Osimhen transfer saga. Since Osimhen’s arrival, Icardi has struggled with injuries and disciplinary rumours, while the Nigerian forward has delivered consistently at a higher level. This shift has seen Icardi lose his status as Galatasaray’s undisputed star. Despite uncertainty over his future, Icardi and Osimhen maintain a cordial relationship. Meanwhile, Galatasaray continue targeting marquee signings to boost their Champions League ambitions.
