Icardi’s agent warns Galatasaray: Wait until December, then decide | OneFootball

The future of Mauro Icardi at Galatasaray is becoming increasingly uncertain. The Argentine striker, an undisputed star of the Turkish club in recent seasons, has a contract expiring in June 2026, but negotiations for a renewal seem to have stalled.

Icardi's agent puts pressure on Galatasaray: "We will wait until December, then we will consider other options"

The player's position was clarified by his agent, Letterio Pino, who in a recent interview wanted to send a direct message to the club's management:

"We will wait until December, then we will consider ourselves free to make other choices. No one from the club, up to today, has reached out. The captain of Galatasaray cannot wait until the end of the season to know the club's intentions."

A clear ultimatum, but accompanied by tones of respect and openness:

"I say this with the utmost respect. Mauro's priority remains Galatasaray, but clarity is needed. The time for waiting cannot be infinite."

Contractual situation at a standstill

According to sources close to the club, Galatasaray's management is carefully evaluating future strategies, also in view of a possible salary restructuring of the group. Icardi, who earns about 6 million euros per season, represents one of the club's heaviest investments, but also the symbol of the sports project.

The main issue remains the duration and economic terms of the renewal: the striker's entourage is asking for guarantees on a competitive project, while the club has not yet made a concrete offer.

Icardi's role and prospects

Since arriving in Istanbul, Icardi has become the face of Galatasaray and one of the most beloved players by the fans. With his performances and decisive goals in the league and in Europe, he has significantly contributed to the club's recent successes.

However, the Argentine striker – who will turn 32 in February – is aware that he is in a crucial phase of his career. The possibility of a return to Europe or a new international experience is not excluded, especially if Galatasaray continues to postpone the decisive meeting.

The next moves

December 2025 thus becomes a key deadline for Icardi's future. If by then no concrete signals come from the club, his entourage may start evaluating other proposals in view of the summer transfer window.

Sources close to the player confirm that the Argentine remains focused on the field, but demands clarity on the contractual plan.

As reiterated by his agent:

"Mauro has always given everything for Galatasaray. But every professional needs to know what their future will be. Our priority is dialogue, not confrontation."
