  • Lazio is intensifying efforts to sign Mauro Icardi, aiming to finalize a deal before the transfer window closes.

Italian club Lazio is reportedly increasing pressure to sign former Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi, aiming to secure a transfer before the current window closes. The club is said to be preparing a significant financial package for the Argentine forward, with reports suggesting an offer of โ‚ฌ3 million, which would exceed their usual wage budget.

Lazio's push comes as uncertainty continues to surround Icardi's future after his contract with Galatasaray expired. While the Italian team has not yet submitted a formal offer, negotiations are ongoing, and a clearer picture of a potential agreement is expected in the coming hours.

Icardi, who has also attracted interest from other clubs, has yet to make a final decision regarding his next career move. Lazio is also considering Andrea Pinamonti as an alternative striking option should the Icardi deal not materialize.

During his four seasons with Galatasaray, Icardi made 134 appearances, scoring 77 goals and providing 25 assists.
