Mauro Icardi is still looking for the next step in his career, with the Argentine forward leaving Galatasaray as a free agent, though he has yet to find a team that suits him.
According to reports, clubs from Italy have seriously considered signing him, with Fiorentina and Lazio having made contact, though negotiations have not progressed.
The latest reports indicate that Elche, as well as Everton, are now strongly entering the race. The Spanish club is looking to strengthen its offense to improve its chances of avoiding relegation, while David Moyes’s team has been left with only Barry up front following Beto’s departure and is in desperate need of a striker.
The experienced striker is one of the most interesting options available on the free agent market following the close of the transfer window.
