Injured Vinicius Hased Been Replaced by New Team Member in Real Madrid Lineup
Real Madrid Scouting Mauro Icardi as Potential Signing, Not Necessarily Replacement for Injured Vinicius Jr.
It seems that Spanish giant Real Madrid might be in the market for a fresh face, as they seek to fill the void left by the injured Brazilian winger, Vinicius Junior, who's out for a hefty 2.5 months. One name popping up in the rumormill is none other than Argentine forward Mauro Icardi, currently under Galatasaray's banner.
According to Italian sources Tuttomercatoweb, an intermediary has already approached Galatasaray regarding the striker, who's been impressing in the Turkish Super Lig. Following Galatasaray's negotiations and setting conditions for the deal, Real Madrid will evaluate the situation. If all goes well, formal discussions could ensue.
Reports suggest that the arrangement under consideration is a loan agreement with an option to buy, with Icardi earning a reported annual salary of 10 million euros since he joined Galatasaray last summer after transferring from French PSG.
With 8 caps and 1 goal for the Argentine national team, Icardi has a stellar career, which includes stints at Sampdoria and Inter in Italy, along with PSG and Galatasaray. In the current season with Galatasaray, Icardi has netted 15 goals and registered 3 assists in 20 games across various competitions.
However, it's worth noting that Icardi is currently recovering from an injury himself, so he might not immediately leap into action if the deal goes through. Also, it's clear that Real Madrid seem to have a few irons in the fire, with Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool being another major transfer target[3].
All in all, while Icardi might be on Real Madrid's radar, the current information points to him as a potential signing rather than a definitive replacement for Vinicius Junior.
