Galatasaray are getting closer to signing Argentine forward Mauro Icardi, a famous transfer insider said on Friday.

"Mauro Icardi X Galatasaray… here we go, confirmed," Fabrizio Romano, an Italian football journalist, said on Twitter.

Earlier, in a video shared by the club, Romano can be seen having a chat with a Galatasaray fan and sports content producer on WhatsApp and said: "Metecan, I have amazing news. Galatasaray have just completed another great signing. Keep an eye on their social media channels. Here we go!."

Icardi's partner Wanda Nara also said on Instagram that they were on the way to Istanbul to complete the player's signing.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray said that they started "formal talks" with Icardi and PSG.

Icardi, 30, spent the 2022-23 season at Galatasaray on loan to score 23 goals in 26 appearances and won the Turkish Super Lig title.

He became fans’ favorite for his goalscoring skills at the Istanbul team.

Last month, Icardi had to return to PSG after ending his loan at Galatasaray.
