Contract renewal deadlock, agent: It is impossible for Icardi to get another 10 million euros in annual salary

October 13th: Icardi’s contract with Galatasaray will expire at the end of this season. There are rumors that the Argentine forward is dissatisfied with serving as a substitute. Turkish media Fanatik discussed Icardi’s contract issues.

Regarding his client’s contract situation, Icardi’s agent had previously made it clear that it was impossible to get another 10 million euros in annual salary. Currently, Icardi's basic annual salary is 6 million euros, and the total with bonuses can reach 10 million euros. In order to be in a good position to negotiate a new contract, he needs to improve his performance.

Galatasaray chairman Dulson Özbek commented last week on Icardi's expiring contract, but he did not give a clear answer. Ozbek said: "This is Icardi's last year with us. He is a very important player for us and made a great contribution in the past season. I believe he will continue to perform well this season. As for whether to renew the contract, it is not yet time to discuss it, it will depend on Performance in the middle of the season. "

It is worth mentioning that when Icardi signed a three-year contract with Galatasaray in July 2023, he rejected an offer of up to 30 million euros per year from Saudi Arabia, a move that won the appreciation of fans.
