La Derecha Diario Who is Özge Atalay, the Turkish woman with whom Mauro Icardi allegedly had an affair
The Turkish influencer and the Argentine footballer starred in a viral image
Mauro Icardi, Galatasaray forward and a regular figure in the headlines for his love life, made the news again, but this time not because of Wanda Nara or María Eugenia "la China" Suárez.
The Argentine footballer was captured in an image alongside the renowned Turkish model and influencer Özge Atalay, and the photograph sparked all kinds of comments and theories on social media about a supposed new romantic relationship.
The picture was shared on Atalay's official Instagram profile, who accompanied the image with the striking phrase: "I couldn't let him out of the story", which many interpreted as a nod to the special moment shared with the Galatasaray player.
In the photo, Mauro appears smiling while the former Miss Türkiye 2014 poses sensually next to him with a smile.
The context of the image was during Galatasaray's celebrations after being crowned champions of Turkish football. Icardi celebrated accompanied by China Suárez and her three children (Rufina, Magnolia, and Amancio).
However, the appearance of Özge Atalay in the scene set off media alarms and fueled speculations about a possible new affair for the forward.
Özge Atalay, born in Istanbul, won the Miss Türkiye pageant in 2014 and has since established herself as one of the most influential figures in the Middle East.
Besides her modeling career, she has participated in television, fashion campaigns, and has a solid follower base on social media, where she shares her daily life, travels, and collaborations with major top-level brands that choose her to promote campaigns.
After the publication, thousands of Argentine users flooded the Turkish influencer's profile with messages in a humorous and supportive tone regarding Icardi's possible new partner. Some directly encouraged her to win over Icardi: "We will love you from Argentina. If you stay with Mauro, even Wanda will love you", wrote one follower.
Others imagined a scene worthy of a novel: "I imagine China at home taking care of her children and Mauro going from club to club taking pictures with models", a user joked.
