Icardi leaves Galatasaray after four years

Argentine striker Mauro Icardi is leaving Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray after a trophy-laden four years, the club has announced.

The Istanbul club bid farewell to the 33-year-old forward by releasing an emotional tribute video on its social media platforms, highlighting his iconic goals, signature celebrations and deep connection with the supporters.

Icardi arrived in Istanbul in 2022, initially on loan from Paris Saint-Germain before making a permanent transfer. He quickly became the spearhead of Galatasaray’s attack, helping the club reclaim its dominance in Turkish football and secure back-to-back Süper Lig titles.

Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk paid tribute to the departing player, expressing the emotional weight of saying goodbye to one of the club’s modern legends.
