Maxi López on Icardi to River: Anyone who wants can join | OneFootball

The former Millonario footballer was decisive in endorsing the possibility of the forward joining Millonario in July.

In the final days of the transfer market, following the arrival of Eduardo Coudet as the new coach, rumors began to surface that River would be interested in signing Mauro Icardi in June, as he will have his transfer rights after not renewing his contract with Galatasaray from Turkey.

Regarding these rumors, the former Millonario forward and Icardi's teammate in Italy, Maxi López, was consulted on the program 'Cortá por Lozano', where he endorsed the player's arrival despite the tense relationship between the two due to past conflicts.

"As long as he scores goals at River, anyone can come," were López's words to affirm that the important thing is for Icardi to stand out on the field, thus leaving aside the personal problems they had several years ago.

Beyond López's endorsement for Icardi's arrival at River, the truth is that the Millonario has not yet made any moves to bring him in. So much so that Enzo Francescoli took it upon himself to dispel these rumors. "I never talked about Icardi, and I know that in the entire group working with River's football, it has never been discussed so far, so it's a topic I am completely unaware of," he stated.

A fact to consider is that the forward will be free in just over three months, and that is why he already has the authority to negotiate directly with any club to sign a pre-contract and thus join as a reinforcement starting July 1st.

Mauro Icardi's Numbers at Galatasaray

Additionally, he received 9 yellow cards and was not sent off in 8669 minutes on the field. As for his achievements, he won five local titles.
