Despite Mauro Icardi's great desire to return to Serie A, his transfer to Juventus did not materialize on the final day of the transfer window.
According to "Tuttosport", the Argentine striker had sent a clear message to the black and white leaders, promising at least 10 goals in six months in exchange for confirmation for next season.
This message showed his willingness to leave behind the black and blue past and old differences with coach Spalletti. However, the main obstacle turned out to be the Galatasaray club.
President Dursun Ozbek demanded 15 million euros for the 33-year-old's card, whose contract was set to expire in six months.
This high demand came mainly from the fear that Icardi could punish the Turks in the upcoming Champions League play-off match, where Juventus will face Galatasaray.
Faced with this figure and the impossibility of a loan, Juventus finally withdrew from the talks.
