CM: Gimenez for Icardi – Galatasaray considering move for Milan striker

AC Milan have considered making a move for Mauro Icardi to replace Santiago Gimenez, but now the reverse might be considered by Galatasaray. 

Gimenez’s time at Milan has seemingly been heading towards an end, and there have been many options linked to replace him. After a lot of deliberation, Niclas Fullkrug will arrive as an aid for the frontline.

However, the Mexican could also stay in Italy, with the sale of Christopher Nkunku not to be ruled out. The Frenchman has not impressed in his first six months, and he could make an exit.

Considering that Gimenez has now had surgery, he will be out until after the mercato closes, which is also off-putting for many potential suitors… or is it?

Gimenez to Gala?

As Calciomercato.com reports, Galatasaray are looking for a striker, given Icardi wants to leave the club, and they could look at the club which has been considering the Argentinian.

The report suggests that El Bebote is in their crosshairs, and they believe he can support Victor Osimhen. However, a lot depends on his physical condition after his surgery, but if assurances can be given, he would be considered for a move.

Galatasaray, as Fanatik reports (via the same article), are not in a rush, so they can certainly wait until he is almost ready to return. It is not one for the start of January, but perhaps the end.
