Galatasaray announced that Argentinian striker Mauro Icardi left the team.
A farewell message regarding Icardi's departure was published by the yellow-red club and the following statements were made:
Today we are talking about inheritance, not separation. The fact that you are no longer wearing the Galatasaray jersey will not change your place in our hearts. Because you have won the hearts of every Galatasaray fan from age 7 to 70. Aside from the goals you scored, the top scorers you achieved, the records you broke and the trophies you lifted; You experienced the passion for Galatasaray and made millions experience it. You are now a value that will not only have your name written in golden letters in the club's history, but will also live forever among Galatasaray's unforgettable legends. Dear captain, who made a generation of Galatasaray fans, today children say "I am from Galatasaray." If he is proud to say, you also have a big share in this.
All Galatasaray fans know it. Such a love is unforgettable." - ISTANBUL
