Icardi weighing lifestyle move as Lazio pursue free agent | OneFootball

Free agent Mauro Icardi is being pursued by Lazio, with his representative setting out that the striker will prioritise personal fit as he weighs his next move.

“Mauro is evaluating the best project, a lifestyle choice rather than an economic one,” said representative Letterio Pino to Sky Sport Italia.

“Mauro wants to choose a beautiful city and a wonderful place to play his football.”

“Lazio are courting him assiduously, it is one of the options we are considering.”

The Argentine spent much of his early career in Italy with Sampdoria then Inter, before a 2019 switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

He moved to Galatasaray in 2022 and stayed until his contract expired on June 30 this year.

Lazio have approached, but he has hesitated over a club with no European football this season and already out of the Coppa Italia. The Aquile lost 2-0 at home to Mantova, though they opened Serie A with wins over Bologna and Genoa.

Other proposals are believed to come from Club Atletico Platense, Besiktas, Benfica, Real Betis and Sao Paulo.
