Villarreal is assessing the potential addition of Mauro Icardi to strengthen their squad and improve their quality. Icardi, who is currently with Galatasaray, is among the most in-demand players for the upcoming January transfer window, with his goal-scoring ability drawing interest from several clubs. Villarreal, alongside Real Betis and Real Sociedad, is contemplating the Argentine forward to enhance their offensive strength in LaLiga and European competitions. Nonetheless, a major obstacle in acquiring Icardi is his substantial salary, which is around 10 million euros per year, requiring possible negotiations for a salary reduction or performance-based incentives.
