Real Madrid have turned down the opportunity to sign Mauro Icardi from Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Reports indicate that Icardi was initially offered to Los Blancos, due to the Spanish club's issues in attack.
However, Real Madrid are reportedly disinterested in signing him, despite the qualities that he can offer to the team.
Mauro Icardi permanently joined Galatasaray from Paris Saint Germain on July 26, 2023, for a fee of €10 million.
Icardi has in the past had engagements in Spain, as he was an academy player of Barcelona before he was sold to Sampdoria on January 11, 2011, for a fee of €300,000.
The Argentine has been outstanding for Galatasaray this campaign, scoring goals with reckless abandon.
The 30-year-old also has massive experience playing in other top European clubs, including; Inter Milan and Paris Saint Germain.
Mauro Icardi has scored 16 goals and provided 5 assists in 21 appearances for the Cimbom this season.
Real Madrid are in dire need of a goal poacher, with Joselu, who was brought in from Espanyol on loan, not really cutting it this campaign.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have had to rely on the brilliance of players like Jude Bellingham this campaign, and have had to see a chunk of their goals spread around the team.
Despite it sounding like it's quite great for goals to come from different facets of the team, it is a worry if your goal poacher isn't delivering as expected.
He has made 16 appearances for the Los Merengues this season, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists across all competitions.
Real Madrid lost the services of Karim Benzema to Pro League club Al Ittihad during the 2023 summer, with the French forward already hitting the ground running for the club.
Benzema has scored 9 goals and provided 4 assists in 14 appearances for Al Ittihad across all competitions this campaign.
Meanwhile, Mauro Icardi will likely lead the line for Galatasaray in their UEFA Champions League Matchday 5 encounter against Manchester United.
Icardi scored against the Red Devils in the first leg of the tie, and he will be relishing another opportunity to score another in the second leg.
Galatasaray sit 3rd on the group standings with 4 points from 4 matches, and they have the chance to qualify to the Round of 16, if they get a victory against Manchester United.
The group has been thrown open for any of either FC Copenhagen, Galatasaray, or Manchester United to gain qualification and the final group matches are expected to be a cracker.
Mauro Icardi has also featured for the national team of Argentina, making just 8 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist.
The January is weeks away from commencing and it remains to be seen if Real Madrid will change their stance on the player.
