This Monday at midday, Icardi returned to Argentina on a private flight that landed at Aeroparque. Minutes later, according to reports on Intrusos (América TV), the footballer went to Chateau Libertador to pick up Francesca and Isabella. The surprise was that he did so accompanied by China Suárez, his current partner, who also returned from Türkiye with him.
Paula Varela explained that the operation was originally scheduled for the morning but ended up taking place after midday due to delays in the flight’s arrival. "They went straight from Aeroparque to the Chateau. They didn't go by the dream house", the panelist detailed, and added that this was the reason why Icardi was accompanied by the actress during the transfer.

China Suárez's presence at the residence caused expectations of a possible conflict, given the history between the parties. Rodrigo Lussich pointed out on air that the actress entered the building, while the images showed that Rufina, Magnolia, and Amancio, China’s children, were also traveling in the van. Many interpreted the gesture as a sign of Icardi's firmness in his decision to pick up his daughters in that context.
However, people at the scene reported that the departure was quick and orderly. Alejandro Guatti indicated that there was no contact with the press or tense scenes. Adrián Pallares, meanwhile, highlighted a key detail: "All in all, it was orderly. China was present and there was no trouble on Wanda's part, who could have said 'if she's there, I won't hand them over'".
The focus, in any case, was on the girls' reaction. For weeks, there had been reports about alleged discomfort from Francesca and Isabella over China’s presence at their meetings with their father. Nevertheless, the end of the day left a different impression. "They told me that they left happy with their father", Varela stated, dispelling, at least for now, the rumors of discomfort.
