Mauro Icardi lined up for stunning Real Madrid transfer despite wife Wanda ‘ruining 2019 move’
MAURO ICARDI is reportedly being lined up for a winter move to Real Madrid.
That’s despite wife Wanda Nara allegedly “ruining” a transfer to the Bernabeu in 2019.
Icardi, 30, is currently starring in Turkey with Galatasaray after a move from Paris Saint-Germain.
He netted 22 goals in 24 league games last season.
And after making his move permanent in the summer, Icardi has gone on to bag a further 12 goals in just 15 outings.
As a result, Radio Marca claims he is now set for a stunning move to Real Madrid.

Icardi is believed to be keen on a mid-season switch to the Spanish capital.
It certainly would lay to rest the fallout from his failed move back in 2019.
