After the acts, Christophe Galtier moved on to the words. If he has not summoned Mauro Icardi for the first match of the Ligue 1 season, last Saturday in Clermont (5-0), the Parisian coach publicly invited the Argentine international striker from PSG, this Wednesday, at a press conference. “His absence was linked to a purely sporting choice. I saw Mauro at the beginning of the week to explain to him that I was going to restrict the group and that I could not play with 25 outfield players, it is not possible“, he said at first.

“The club is working closely with him to find the best possible solution. He has had very little playing time in recent seasons. I think it’s important for him to reviveadded Christophe Galtier. For his interest and that of the club, we must find the best possible compromise. That is to say a club where he can express these qualities. He hasn’t lost everything. It’s true that it’s been difficult for two years.”
Arrived with great fanfare on loan in 2019, the 29-year-old was bought for some 50 million euros the following summer. But since then, the former Inter striker is clearly losing ground at PSG. For two seasons, Mauro Icardi, who has lost his place in the starting XI, has scored 18 goals in all competitions: 13 goals in 2020-21 and 5 goals in 2021-22. Where could the Argentinian now bounce? In Serie A, the striker always has good odds and Monza would dream of welcoming him.
