Icardi Transfer: Rıdvan Dilmen’s Shocking Claim

In the 17th week of the Trendyol Super League, Galatasaray defeated Kasımpaşa, which it hosted at home, 3-0. Football commentator Rıdvan Dilmen, while evaluating the yellow-red team’s win over Kasımpaşa on the Sports Digitale YouTube channel, gave important clues about the reinforcements that should be made during the interim transfer period and made striking observations about Icardi, whose contract will expire.

‘HE GAVE THIS MESSAGE LAST WEEK’

Dilmen pointed out that Icardi scored 9 goals without a penalty and emphasized that the Argentinian center forward gave signals that he wanted to guarantee the new contract and said, “A player like Icardi may not be on the field sometimes, but I see that there is this thought of ‘Let me score the 9th or 10th goal and force the contract’. When we look at the time, onuachu scored 4 penalties, Shomurodov scored 1 or 2 penalties, Talisca scored 3 penalties. Icardi; 0 penalties, 9 goals and little time. Now the break has come, Icardi will tell his manager ‘Start contract negotiations’ before getting on the plane; he gave this message last week.

‘THE CONTRACT HAS TO BE EXTENDED’

Saying that a new contract should be signed with Mauro Icardi, whose contract will expire at the end of the season, Dilmen said, “I think Galatasaray has to extend the contract with Icardi. Because when you have a player like Icardi and if we look at the 3-year effort of this player, we also see that he has accepted to stay behind Osimhen. He played and scored a goal; tomorrow, when you are in a tight situation, you can turn to a double center forward.” he said.

‘LET’S SEE THE TRUTH OF TORREIRA’

Underlining that Lucas Torreira, as well as Victor Osimhen, had a share in disrupting the balance in the league in favor of Galatasaray, the master commentator said, “I think Torreira was the hero of the match today. I already think that it is the most important transfer that Galatasaray has made in recent years. Let’s see the fact that the player who disrupted the balance with all the teams was Torreira as much as Osimhen. Today, if he played approximately 80-90 balls, he lost 1 or 2 balls. It is not like that, you take it, you give it, he takes it, reverse it.” “He returns and wins the ball with a fight.” he said.

‘ONE MIDFIELD, ONE LEFT BACK’

Referring to the reinforcements that the yellow-red club should make during the interim transfer period, Rıdvan Dilmen stated that Galatasaray needs a left-back and a good midfielder and said: “When we look at the backbone of Galatasaray, there does not seem to be a problem from the goalkeeper to the centre-forward. I see that there is a need for a left-back and a good midfielder in Galatasaray. Because there is a Lemina who always plays with self-sacrifice. İlkay is old; he is a very good player in tough matches. character, but it is obvious that he cannot handle it consecutively. Then there is this: One midfielder, one clear left-back, maybe a local left-handed centre-back. he said.
