Mauro Icardi's new club is taking shape

After a successful spell at Galatasaray, Mauro Icardi, who left the club last summer, is now closer to a new team. Icardi, who has been without a club for more than three months, is set for news he has been waiting for. The striker is reported to be heading for a team in Spain this time.

According to reports in the Argentine press, LaLiga side Real Betis is closely interested in Icardi. The Spanish club is said to want to add the experienced striker to its squad. The reports also state that Icardi is open to playing in LaLiga and has taken a positive view of the transfer.

For the move to happen, however, the two sides still need to reach an agreement. If a deal is reached, Icardi will continue his career at Real Betis, it is reported.

In his time with Galatasaray, Icardi made 134 appearances and scored 77 goals in the yellow and red shirt. The veteran striker also contributed 25 assists to the team.
