Sports commentator, Fuat Akdağ, has emphasized that Mauro Icardi will not accept a role on the bench at Galatasaray, as Victor Osimhen is the club's preferred striker.
Akdağ shared this perspective while discussing the Icardi situation on the Kontraspor YouTube channel.
Although Osimhen is currently the primary striker at Galatasaray, Icardi appears to be dissatisfied.
Icardi has netted 5 goals in the league this season, while Osimhen has scored two goals.
“Icardi will never agree to be a substitute,” Akdağ stated, as reported by Habersarikirmizi.
“I mentioned it the day Galatasaray signed Osimhen, ‘Coach Okan's task is quite challenging.’ This is a reality. It is indeed very challenging. This challenge persists.
“This issue will remain as long as Icardi and Osimhen are teammates. I am unsure how Coach Okan will address it, but this problem will always be present. Icardi will never accept this; he is not that kind of player.”
