Lazio have been in contact with Icardi

Lazio are studying the possibility of signing Argentine forward Mauro Icardi. "Eagles" sports director Angelo Fabiani has already held the first talks with the 33-year-old football player, broadcaster Sport informs. Icardi has been a free agent since July after his contract with Galatasaray expired. The management of the Italian club wants to find out if the striker is ready to continue his career in Serie A. The main obstacle during a possible transfer can be the player's high financial appetite. In addition, the Argentine expects to receive an offer from a team that will play in the Champions League. In addition to Galatasaray, Icardi previously defended the colors of Inter, PSG and Sampdoria, becoming the top scorer in the championships of Italy and Turkey. In the 2025/26 season, the forward scored 16 goals and 3 assists in 47 matches for the Istanbul team. Earlier it was reported that Sao Paulo paid off Lazio's debt for the transfer of ex-Shakhtar midfielder Antonio.
