He was a friend of Messi, got kicked out of PSG because of Mbappe, now he shines in a minor league

Mauro Icardi did not have a good time in French football. He arrived in 2019 and never managed to consolidate himself in the starting 11. The arrival of Lionel Messi further complicated his stay in Ligue 1 and he was loaned to Galatasaray this season. Now, the Argentine striker shone again, as in his past with the Inter Milan shirt.

Icardi was a figure in Italy, however, problems in the dressing room and with the Inter Milan board of directors caused him to leave in 2019. His destination was PSG, where he could not consolidate and his career went into a tailspin, added to the marital problems with Wanda Nara. In recent years, more has been said about extra-sports controversies than about his performance on the field of play.

Does Mauro Icardi have space in the Argentine team?

In his best moment, Mauro Icardi was called up to the Argentine team, but he never managed to consolidate. In total, he has eight official matches and just one goal with the Albiceleste. Although he once again stood out in Europe, a hypothetical return to the world champion looks complicated, since there are players like Julián Álvarez, Lautaro Martínez and Joaquín Correa himself who are earlier on the list of options.
