Calciomercato.com reports that Mauro Icardi has responded to criticism after becoming a free agent following the expiry of his Galatasaray contract. The Argentine striker used social media to reject suggestions that being without a club represents a failure, presenting his situation instead as freedom to choose his future. Icardi also said he had secured his financial future and urged people not to be concerned about his career. He enjoyed several strong seasons in Turkey, but did not reach an agreement with Galatasaray over a renewal. The report adds that he has recently been linked with clubs in several countries, while Lazio made enquiries without taking decisive action.
