As a result of this, there has been speculation about a possible transfer for Icardi, who has lately been in impressive form away in Turkey. This speculation comes in anticipation of the forthcoming transfer window in January.
In point of fact, the attacker, who attended the La Masia youth program in Barcelona for a total of three years, now contributes 15 goals for Galatasaray.
Icardi’s agency contributed to the spread of rumors.
Despite the fact that it has been stated that Real Madrid does not want to sign Icardi or any other attacker in January, the former La Masia trainee’s agent spoke in a way that fueled rumors about a possible transfer.

Now, a new rumor that was published by Guillermo Rai of The Athletic claims that Real Madrid have really been offered the services of Mauro Icardi, but they do not want to sign him in the month of January.
According to senior club insiders, who spoke with the aforementioned publication, the club did, in fact, meet with Icardi’s agent not too long ago, but they made it quite plain to him that they were not interested in acquiring the former Inter Milan and PSG striker. This information was provided to the outlet.
Gonzalo Garcia, a striker for Real Madrid Castilla, has been promoted to the first-team squad by Carlo Ancelotti in order to replace Vinicius in the starting lineup for tomorrow’s match against Cadiz.
Gonzalo might see a significant increase in playing time under Ancelotti if Real Madrid holds fast to their position that they do not wish to buy any further players.
Despite having spoken with Icardi’s agency, the club now has no interest in signing the Argentine player. This is despite the fact that they have already shown interest in other players.
