Galatasaray transfer plans as Icardi joins Beşiktaş

Entities: Galatasaray SK · Beşiktaş JK · Mauro Icardi

Overview

After four seasons, Mauro Icardi left Galatasaray as a free agent in July 2026. He faces a €4 million French tax bill, increased child‑support obligations and legal disputes in Argentina. While his next move was uncertain, reports on 26 July indicated that Icardi has agreed to a two‑year contract with Beşiktaş, reportedly earning €5 million net per season plus performance bonuses. No official statement from the clubs or the player’s representatives has been released.

Galatasaray, fresh from a 5‑1 pre‑season win over Ümraniyespor, have intensified their hunt for a new centre‑forward. The club continues to evaluate 20‑year‑old prospects Carlos Espi (Levante) and Dženan Pejčinović (Wolfsburg), both praised for aerial ability, and is also shortlisting Argentine winger Thiago Almada, valued at €15 million, though no formal offer has been made to Atletico Madrid. Mid‑fielder Renato Nhaga, signed from Casa Pia for €6.5 million, is being linked with a possible loan to Alverca, with his contract running to 2030.

Management expects at least two signings by 10 August, favoring loan‑with‑option deals to control costs. Ongoing negotiations also include Lille midfielder Ngal’ayel Mukau and interest in Colombian centre‑back Davinson Sanchez. The board emphasizes that, as reigning Süper Lig champions, Galatasaray is not rushing a full squad overhaul.

The squad’s depth, highlighted by the contributions of young players such as Lesley Ugochukwu and the recent Austrian training camp, remains a focal point as the club prepares for the new season.
