Galatasaray fans are celebrating a special moment in the club’s history after Mauro Icardi became the highest-scoring foreign player of all time for the Istanbul giants. The Argentine striker has now scored 73 goals in the famous yellow and red shirt, moving clear of previous records.
Galatasaray marked the milestone on their official X handle with the message:
With his yellow-red jersey, the foreign player with the most goals in Galatasaray history with 73 goals: CAPTAIN Mauro Icardi!”
It is another reminder of how important Icardi has become to the club, not just for his goals, but also for his leadership as captain.
Off the pitch, Galatasaray are already planning for the future. The club have reportedly opened talks with Real Betis over Sergi Altimira, the 24-year-old Spanish midfielder. Betis are believed to be asking for between €20–25 million, with several European clubs also keeping an eye on the situation.
If completed, the deal would be a clear statement of intent as Gala look to strengthen their midfield for the next phase of their project.
Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen continues to write his own story in Istanbul. According to SoftFootball, the Nigerian striker has reached 50 goals for Galatasaray in record time, helping the club to a Turkish Cup and Süper Lig double. His impact has been electric, and his form keeps proving why he is one of Africa’s finest football exports.
