On February 14, 2016, they shocked the soccer community by finding a new way to score from the penalty spot. Messi was expected to take it like any other spot-kick, but decided to assist Suarez instead of shooting.

That play gave a lot to talk about for weeks, and seven years later, it inspired Galatasaray to try and do the same against Istanbulspor. However, Mauro Icardi failed to find the net.

Watch: Icardi misses incredible open goal

Just like Messi did in 2016 against Celta, Kerem Aktürkoglu took charge of the penalty but decided to pass the ball to Icardi. Unlike Suarez, the Argentine striker missed the open goal and the play immediately went viral.

Even so, it didn’t take long for the former Inter Milan star to redeem himself. 42 minutes into the game, Aktürkoglu once again set up an opportunity for Icardi, and this time the 30-year-old found the net.

Icardi had already tried this with Neymar at PSG, but on that occasion, it worked.

How many goals does Mauro Icardi have this season?

Mauro Icardi started the 2023-24 season on the right foot, with 10 goals in 13 games across all competitions for Galatasaray.

Both Nara and Icardi have made suggestive posts that they are enjoying the single life, with Nara linked with Argentine urban singer L-Gante. Icardi himself has begun to surface, while he is on holiday and recuperating from a muscle injury the former Inter Milan striker was photographed at a Buenos Aires night club in the company of Argentine model Floppy Tesouro.

Floppy Tesouro, 37, was asked about her relationship with Mauro Icardi and the singer/ actress neither denied nor confirmed a relationship with the striker.

Who is Floppy Tesouro?

Floppy Tesouro was born Florencia Tesouro in Lanus, Buenos Aires and became famous on the Argentine version of Big Brother. Her career took off as a model and was known to have “the best butt of Argentina” at one point. Tesouro would eventually marry a business investor named Rodrigo Fernandez and would have one daughter before splitting in 2019. Since then, the Argentine actress has been single and lately has been seen with Mauro Icardi.

When asked about Icardi, Tesouro stated, “What a strong question … I am very respectful, at this moment (Icardi) is going through a separation. Wanda is a colleague. I am a mother, I am a woman… Mauro is a very attractive person, he is a person who has a divine family… I stay out of those situations”

Icardi uploaded a picture of the two with five other people and the words “friends’ night”, but according to Infobae, Icardi has liked many pictures of Tesouro in bikini on Instagram. On the soccer side since going to Turkey Icardi has 4 goals in 6 matches.

Three years later, he won the award for Best Player in Serie A after a new season as the best scorer in Italy. This time, he did it with 29 goals and started to become a reference for Argentina. Then, on 2020, a shocking transfer to PSG sent Icardi to France where he won two Ligue 1 and two French Cups.

However, in the last years, Mauro Icardi is having problems on and off the field. So, when Argentina announced their 26-man roster for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, many people wondered which were the reasons for his absence.

Why is Mauro Icardi missing the Qatar 2022 World Cup?

Mauro Icardi is definitely not in the form which made him a star with Inter in Italy. So, considering this scenario, it was really tough for Lionel Scaloni to consider him above names such asLionel Messi (PSG), Lautaro Martínez (Inter), Angel Di Maria (Juventus), Angel Correa (Atletico Madrid), Julián Álvarez (Manchester City) or Paulo Dybala (Roma).

At the same time, many reports have emphasized that Mauro Icardi’s relationship with the players of the National Team is absolutely damaged after his scandal with Maxi Lopez’s ex-wife, Wanda Nara. Many leaders of Argentina, especially Lionel Messi, never saw Icardi as part of the group after that.

The couple has had long standing issues that range from jealousy, infidelity, and sporadic separations. The most recent episode has Nara back in Argentina with her five children doing local television and being linked romantically with Argentine singer L-Gante.

Icardi on the other hand is playing for Galatasaray where he has 1 goal in 3 league games. It was reported that Icardi blocked a 1-million-euro representative fee to Nara, as he made clear, “she no longer represents me”.

Wanda Nara’s achievements as Mauro Icardi’s agent

Despite skyrocketing to fame for a rumored affair with Diego Maradona, Nara has been able to transform her bombshell image into a strong corporate businesswoman.

As Icardi’s agent Nara achieved, that Inter Milan pay Icardi a 5-million-euro salary in 2016. She was able to secure image rights for her husband in the range of 450,000 euros.

In 2019, Nara was key in getting Icardi to go on loan to PSG while also resigning with Inter until 2022. PSG would buy Icardi for 50 million euros, and she helped him secure a move to Galatasaray where he earns 6.7 million euros annually.

During his time with Sampdoria, Icardi and Maxi Lopez’s striker Wanda were close friends. Lopez would often host Icardi at his home and take him on weekend excursions.After she finalized her divorce from Maxi, the couple tied the knot in May 2014 and welcomed two girls into the world.

Many rumors have circulated about Wanda and her husband’s connection with the press since she became his agent. However, in late September, the glamour model, entertainer, andagentacknowledged the breakup with the Paris Saint-Germain striker on loan to Galatasarayon her social media accounts.

The ex-Premier League player and Mauro Icardi colleague who flirted with Wanda Nara

Nara has now claimed that a former Premier League player, who was once ateammate of Icardi at Inter,flirted with her when she was married to the Argentine, which has only added fuel to the fire of their ongoing drama. While serving as a judge on the Argentinian adaptation of “The Masked Singer,” she made the revelation, claiming that one of the singers was really Dani Osvaldo.

After hanging up his boots, Osvaldo pursued a career as a rock musician, and Nara saw in the anonymous artist a reflection of the feisty former player. During his loanstint at Inter in the 2014-15 season, Wanda claimed Mauro’s teammateattempted to flirt with her in a VIP lounge at astadium.

Considering she was married to Icardi at the time, it was an awkward moment for him to try to win her heart. Even more intriguing is the fact that the two players had a heated rivalry on the field during their time together at the Giuseppe Meazza. Interestingly, during that season, on one occasion, Icardidecided to shoot instead of passing to Osvaldo when playing up front for his team against Juventus, almost causing a fight between the two players.

It took the combined efforts of both players’ teammates to prevent a fistfight between the two, which both of them insist would have broken out immediately otherwise. Partly because of the incident, Osvaldo eventually retired from soccer at the age of 31 citing a preference for ‘beers and barbecue’as the reason for his departure from the sport.

Nara along the way became Icardi’s representative and her dealings with Italian general managers was reported to be strained. Again, Nara was seen as one of the reasons Inter Milan wanted to cut ties with the player, arguably at his peak.

Now banished to Turkey and once again with their marriage on the rocks, certain conditions between the two have surfaced which would indicate that Icardi is not looking for a split due to the legal ramifications it could have.

Wanda Nara’s and Mauro Icardi’s strange ‘contract’

According to gossip journalist Estefi Berardi, the reason the striker may be looking to avoid a split from Nara is mostly due to an agreement the couple signed. After Icardi’s text messaging scandal with María Eugenia Suárez, Nara forced Icardi to sign a ‘contract’ in which if the former PSG striker ever cheated on her again Nara would assume control over their fortune.

While extremely far-fetched to believe that the couple would sign such a one-sided agreement, Icardi is reported to not be happy Nara returned to Argentina and is pursuing work opportunities.

Later Icardi uploaded a picture of his “ex” wife laughing about how toxic they are. The reality is that both have suffered from their toxic relationship. Icardi’s career has tanked going from Serie A to Ligue 1 and now to Turkey.

Nara is seen as a troublemaker by the soccer brass, although she is a successful businesswoman.
Now to add insult to their injuries, Wanda Nara sent her ex-husband Maxi Lopez a congratulations message on Instagram in honor of the announcement of his new baby.

Wanda Nara and her ex-husbands

Maxi Lopez has three children with the former model turned sports agent, they also had a highly publicized split in which Nara had had an affair with Mauro Icardi at the time. Since then, over the years for the sake of their children the relationship between the two has improved.

Wanda Nara and Icardi on the other hand seemed to have a stable relationship although in the last two years the couple has been in constant scandal over allegations of infidelity and divorce.

Icardi is now on loan at Galatasaray where he is trying to get his career back on track after a falling out at Inter Milan and a poor run of form at PSG.

Mauro Icardi has lived a rollercoaster in the last few months. First, he left Paris Saint-Germain after coach Cristophe Galtier didn’t take him as part of the group for the 2022 season. For that reason, he had to leave and signed with Galatasaray in the Turkish league.

But now, soccer is no longer his priority. The Argentinian attacker was in a relationship with Wanda Nara, with whom he has two kids. But now, the actress confirmed the end of their marriage after 9 long years.

Wanda Nara’s Instagram message confirming the end of her marriage with Mauro Icardi

Wanda Nara and Mauro Icardi were married for 9 years, but now it seems like their relationship has ended. In her official Instagram account, the actress confirmed that they are splitting, but she gave no reasons why.

“I find it very painful to live this moment,” said Wanda Nara via Instagram. “But thanks to my exposure, things transcendingand the media speculations, I think is better that you know it from me. I have nothing else to say and I’m not going to give any more details about this breakup. I ask you to please understand my position, not only for me, but also for my children.”

This Instagram story came after she responded a question about how long has she been married with Mauro Icardi. She didn’t answer in present tense as the actress said “We were together for 9 years”.

Recently, they both had already signed the divorce papers after ‘serious troubles’ between them. They reconciled after, but now it seems like their marriage has fully ended and there’s no going back.

Now with Kylian Mbappé locked up and the club hoping for a better season from Lionel Messi and Neymar, it’s time to hit the transfer market with a bang.

According to Le Parisien, PSG is looking to offload a lot of “dead weight” ahead of the new season and there are many interesting names on the list.

11 transferable players at PSG

The first name on this list is Argentine striker Mauro Icardi, who besides having a woeful season, also had issues during the year with his personal life as his wife/agent Wanda Nara, Icardi, and an Argentine actress were caught in the middle of a love triangle.

Georginio Wijnaldum, who only arrived last season has been transfer listed, Leandro Paredes has long been rumored with a move away from France with Manchester United being the most reported destination.

Thilo Kehrer, Julian Draxler, Abdou Diallo, Idrissa Gueye and Layvin Kurzawa are all players in the $30-40 million price range. Andre Herrera, Danilo Pereira and Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe round out the list of transferable players.

PSG is looking to cash in on players they feel have left little mark on the squad and are rumored to be after Ferland Mendy, striker Gianluca Scamacca and defender Milan Skriniar.

PSG are known for having a lot of capital and a huge transfer budget, but the renewal of the 23-year-old’s contract until 2025 may mean that the French team will not spend as much money during this transfer window.

Messi demands changes at PSG ahead of next season, and Mbappe is believed to be involved in a series of decisions alongside the club’s officials, for example, in deciding on the position of the coach and who should be in charge of the PSG squad next season. And it appears that some determinations have already been made.

Players who could leave PSG

According to Le Parisien, Leonardo will step down as PSG’s sporting director, and his successor will be Luis Campos. The former Monacoand Lille sporting director will sign a three-year contract with PSG and will be in charge of designing the team’s squad for next season’s Champions League title challenge.

In addition, as reported by the French newspaper, PSG will also sign Antero Henrique to strengthen the sporting direction. The Brazilian, who is the sporting director of the Qatar Football League, will be in charge of the team’s departures whileCampos will be in charge of new signings.

Apparently, Henrique already has in mind which players will be the first ones to leave the club. Sergio Rico, Layvin Kurzawa, ThiloKehrer, Abdou Diallo, Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera, Danilo, Idrissa Gana Gueye, JulianDraxler, and Mauro Icardi are the main candidates for leaving the French team. Furthermore, it remains to be determined what will happen with Sergio Ramos, Keylor Navas, and Neymar.

In 2019 infamous Italian media personality Fabrizio Corona began circulating a story that Wanda Icardi had an affair with Marcelo Brozovic when her husband was playing at Inter Milan. According to Wanda Nara Icardi, it was said accusations that led to her husband having issues at the club and also between herself and her husband. Wanda Icardi flat-out denied the rumors of infidelity saying in court under oath, “I never had a relationship with Marcelo Brozovic.”

Wanda Icardi’s sister Zaira Nara sued Corona for defamation of character at the time, but the case was reopened recently because Brozovic has also come out and claimed he was tarnished by the incident.

Wanda Nara in court over alleged cheating scandal at Inter Milan

Fabrizio Corona published the details of the supposed affair on his website and even uploaded a fake WhatsApp audio which was supposed to be Wanda Nara Icardi speaking about the affair.

Upon leaving court Icardi stopped to talk to the press, “We are a traditional family and this story caused us problems, both within the family and outside. My children went to school, and they were bullied, it caused problems for my husband and for me, seeing as I am his agent. Nothing in the story is true… That story started all the problems and Mauro was forced to change clubs. Inter really made this situation weigh on him.”

Icardi continued, “(Inter Milan) told him he had to move on, he had to change agent, they took away the captain’s armband and I don’t think it was due to his performances on the pitch… This whole thing caused huge issues with the club and directors.”

Fabrizio Corona was found guilty in 2015 for the extortion of various female entertainment and sports personalities and was sentenced to a 13 years and 2 months prison sentence.

For Wanda Icardi it is the continuation of episodes which involve her family and personal life, her husband Mauro Icardi is coming off of a disappointed season at PSG and is reportedly one of the players the club is willing to let go of.
