China Suárez denies Icardi to River rumours: "I'm happy in Turkey" | OneFootball

In a promising transfer market for River, which has already signed Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno and is aiming for more, the name of Mauro Icardi has started to gain traction. The forward, who has just 6 months left on his contract with Galatasaray, has begun to be linked with the Millonario, and there was even talk of a supposed approval from Eugenia Suárez, his partner.

Several reports claimed that China, a confessed fan of the Millonario, had given the green light for a return to Argentina so that the striker could wear the red band. For this reason, the actress came out to deny the rumors on her official X account, where she has more than 3 million followers.

“Did I give the okay for what? Hahaha, I don't get involved in my partner's career, I'm not his manager nor do I want to be,” Suárez stated, doubling down: “I am happy in Turkey, don't try to divert attention from what really matters. Kisses.”

China's words quash the hopes of many fans. So far, there have been no contacts between the parties for Icardi to become a River reinforcement, and everything indicates that, at least, he will fulfill his contract with the European club.

Despite denying her supposed influence on the player's decision, weeks ago, Suárez made it clear that River would be the destination if he decides to return to Argentina: “If he comes, he comes to River and there's no discussion. It's already been talked about. If at some point he comes… Boca is absolutely forbidden.”
