Due to Vinicius' injury, the millions that Real Madrid should pay for Icardi

Before the duel against the world champion at the Maracaná, Vinicius Junior was injured in Brazil's 2-1 defeat against Colombia in Barranquilla, for the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, and returned to the capital of Spain to undergo an MRI magnetic that confirmed the worst of the omens. The studies carried out on 'Vini' in Madrid confirmed that he suffered a tear in the femoral biceps of his left leg, which also affects the distal tendon, which causes him to say goodbye to the rest of the games that Real Madrid will play in 2023, with a estimated sick leave time between eight and ten weeks.

In this way, Real Madrid loses one of its greatest attacking values for the remainder of this year, 2023, so Florentino Pérez is already analyzing what options he has in the transfer market to be able to replace the Brazilian. The player who enters the scene is Mauro Icardi, who scored again this Saturday, in the match between his Galatasaray and Alanyaspor for the Turkish Super League that was played just a few hours after his agent and lawyer Elio Letterio Pino confirmed to the portal Fanatik from that country that there were already conversations with representatives of Real Madrid, a club that showed interest in his signing, causing surprise throughout Europe.

“There is no official offer yet. I'm in Madrid right now (yesterday). Real Madrid has not made any offer for Icardi. They have not yet made an official offer. But we are talking to those responsible for Real Madrid”, was what his agent expressed about this possibility. He also confessed: “I will go to Istanbul on Monday to meet with Erden Timur. I will watch the Galatasaray – Manchester United Champions League match on Wednesday. Of course, I will also spend time with Mauro. I can't say anything else for now".

How much money should Real Madrid pay for Icardi?

During his stay at Inter Milan, Icardi had a market value close to 100 million euros, but today, now 30 years old and playing with Galatasaray in Turkey, his value was considerably devalued. So much so that according to Transfermarkt, the Argentine is valued at 20 million euros, an amount that Real Madrid should offer if they want to take over his services.
