The Mauro Icardi camp confirms contacts with Real Madrid
In the past few hours, an astonishing rumor has gained traction around Real Madrid. In search of a forward since Karim Benzema’s departure, the Turkish press announced that Real Madrid was considering the possibility of signing Mauro Icardi.
Although the Madrid club has denied any arrival of the former PSG striker, the player’s entourage has confirmed concrete contacts between the two parties.
«I am in Madrid at the moment. Real Madrid has not made an official offer for Icardi, but we are in discussions with the club’s management.
I am going to Istanbul on Monday to meet Erden Timur (vice-president of Galatasaray), and, of course, I will also spend time with Mauro. I cannot say more at the moment», stated agent Elio Letterio Pino, as reported by the newspaper «AS».
