In Turkey, the ongoing transfer window to local leagues has attracted not only one famous football player. Istanbul's "Galatasaray" team will soon be officially joined by Juan Mata and Mauro Icardi, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports. J. Mata was also actively linked with the "Leeds" team this summer, but the Spaniard ultimately did not sign any contract with another club. Mauro Icardi arrived at Istanbul Airport yesterday after signing the contract. Soon both the Argentinean and the Spaniard will be officially presented to the fans of the Istanbul team. "Galatasaray" successfully competed in the Europa League last season, only losing to "Barcelona" in the quarterfinals. The season did not go well for the club in Turkey, so this season they will not be competing in European tournaments.
