Sports commentator, Fuat Akdağ, has insisted that Mauro Icardi will not accept a bench role at Galatasaray as Victor Osimhen is the club’s first-choice striker.

Akdağ stated this while commenting on the Icardi agenda on the Kontraspor YouTube channel.

While Osimhen is the first-choice striker at Galatasaray, Icardi seems unhappy.

Icardi has scored 5 goals in the league so far this season, while Osimhen has scored two goals.

“Icardi will never accept being a substitute,” Akdağ said as quoted by Habersarikirmizi.

“I said it the day Galatasaray signed Osimhen, ‘Coach Okan’s job is very difficult.’ This is a fact. It is very difficult indeed. This difficulty continues.

“This problem will continue as long as Icardi and Osimhen are together. I don’t know how Coach Okan will solve it, but this problem will always exist. Icardi will never accept this; he is not that type of player.”
