Mauro Icardi would be left out of Galatasaray: 'He is overweight and can't last 90 minutes.'

The situation of Mauro Icardi at Galatasaray is going through its most critical moment. After months of rumors, for the first time a club executive spoke publicly about the striker's current situation, and his statements set off alarms both in Türkiye and Argentina.

According to Juli Argenta on LAM (América TV), the comment arose during a board meeting and exposed internal concerns. "Today, for the first time, a Galatasaray executive spoke publicly. Until now, there had only been rumors. This happened at a board meeting," the panelist explained before quoting the statement that made the player's inner circle uncomfortable.

"He is overweight and can't complete 90 minutes"

According to Argenta, the board indicated that Icardi "is overweight, that he can't recover, and that he can't finish even 90 minutes." The comment adds to a series of questions about his physical condition and his performance after the serious ligament injury he suffered.

The situation was further explained by Leo Paradizo on Lape Club Social Informativo, where he recalled that the striker has spent eight months recovering from a torn cruciate ligament, a period that, according to specialists, represents "the maximum limit" for recovery from that type of injury.

Paradizo stated that there is frustration within the club due to the length of the process, something that is fueling doubts about his future. He even hinted at a possibility that resonated strongly in the studio: "He could come to play in Argentina." Nevertheless, he emphasized that it would be an unusual turn in the player's career.

On LAM, Argenta also pointed out that the board is analyzing the economic impact of maintaining Icardi's contract, one of the highest in the squad. "Mauro is a player who is very spoiled in that sense, he has always had very high contracts," she explained.

According to her, the possibility of negotiating his departure with other clubs is already on the table, both for economic reasons and due to his current performance.
