The star player, who was in Argentina to spend time with his daughters, was planning to return to Turkey to join Galatasaray's pre-season preparations and discuss matters related to his contract.

The alleged ban stems from financial obligations concerning his daughters, Francesca and Isabella, with reports suggesting it was enacted after a request from the lawyers of his ex-wife, Wanda Nara. Icardi had traveled to Argentina to spend time with his daughters, with plans to return to Istanbul for Galatasaray's training camp and contract discussions.
