Mauro Icardi is available on a free transfer and he could be a tempting opportunity to several clubs in Serie A, a report claims.
It was already common knowledge that the love story between Icardi and Galatasaray was headed for the end credits. Now – via their social media profiles and website – the Turkish club have made official the separation and the termination of their contractual agreement with their former captain.

They shared a touching farewell video message for Icardi, who thus becomes without a club. As a result, there is a chance he could become a golden opportunity for Serie A sides too, a destination he would love.
Offered to Milan
Calciomercato.com report that Icardi has been eyeing Italian clubs looking for a striker for some time now, given his desire to return. However, due to his very lucrative contract with Galatasaray, no one has made any concrete contact with his entourage.
On a free transfer, he’s become a unique opportunity that could be tempting to many top clubs, such as Juventus (where he would reunite with Luciano Spalletti), Como (who could make him a Champions League player and bring him closer to Milano, where he still has interests), or even Roma.
Finally, he was also previously offered to AC Milan. The Rossoneri have already closed the signing of Goncalo Ramos for a big-money fee, but Santiago Gimenez faces an uncertain future and thus a new deputy striker may be sought, especially if on a free.
As a rotational striker he would be a top signing. Not too old either ie we had Giroud and ibra playing until late 30s-early 40. His not that old and great alternative to Ramos. He would be great.
Icardi for free is a no brainer. I’m surprised Milan didn’t sign him already.
As good a striker as you can get. No transfer fee. Just to go overboard with the wages. Brings experience to the attacking department…. Win-win.

Selling Gimenez and taking this guy for free seems like good business, as long as he doesnt want a crazy salary and sign on bonus.
I would have loved to see Icardi here any time in the last few years. Having spent a fortune on Ramos though, is there a spot for him now? Probably not. He’s not going to want to sit on the bench and we have two other forwards at the moment; yea he’s arguably better than either Camarda or Gimenez but surely we have other spots more in need of that budget spend.
They would have to find a buyer for Gimenez first.
How do you know he won’t accept that kind of status? I’m pretty sure he won’t/wouldn’t mind
being a backup striker at all as long as his wage meets his financial requests and expectations…
He’s a better backup than Gimenez at this point …
Are you all ok? A 33 year old, injury-prone, ex-Inter scumbag. No thanks. We already have 2 centre forwards.
Please God No let him rot in turkey
We don’t care
You don’t care, speak for yourself.
