The real reason Mauro Icardi won't join Boca, according to China Suárez | OneFootball

During a brief visit to Argentina, Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi appeared in a television interview alongside his partner, Eugenia Suárez. There, in a relaxed chat with Mario Pergolini, China revealed that if the forward decides to return to the country, he is “absolutely forbidden” to play for Boca.

The actress, a die-hard River fan, made her stance clear right away in the conversation: “If he comes, he goes to River. There’s no discussion. It’s already been talked about. Boca? Absolutely forbidden.” Of course, Pergolini’s passion for Boca prevailed, but when he sought the footballer’s reaction, Icardi dodged the question: “I’m from Newell’s, so I have nothing to do with it.”

The truth is that, beyond the football banter, Icardi did address the possibility of returning to Newell’s, the club where he took his first steps but never played for, as he left for Europe at a young age. “They’ve called me several times to come back, but I still have some time left… I’ve spent my whole life in Europe since I was a kid, so…” he said, leaving the door open to a possible return before the end of his career.

The conversation shifted to other topics and, at one point, Icardi also made a confession about how his new relationship with China Suárez, after his scandalous breakup with Wanda Nara, influenced his contract with Galatasaray: “One of the things I asked for when I arrived in Turkey was that I didn’t want to stay in the team hotel. She wants me to always be at home, we’re very clingy.”

On the sporting side, the striker has regained his form after a long injury. He has scored six goals in 11 Turkish Super League appearances, with the peculiarity that he usually comes off the bench. His numbers keep him in the race for top scorer, just two goals behind Paul Onuachu, the leader of the table.
