Mauro Icardi, a 33-year-old forward currently a free agent, is once again on the verge of playing in the Premier League after being offered to Everton and now Roberto De Zerbi would have requested his signing by Tottenham Hotspur. The Argentine has been without a club since his contract with Galatasaray ended last summer and could join without a transfer fee.

However, the scenario has changed in recent weeks. Tottenham considered signing him to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's attack, but the latest reports suggest that they have decided not to proceed at the moment. Everton continues to view the forward as an option to expand their squad.

Mauro Icardi Losing Ground as an Option for Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham's interest in Mauro Icardi arose in September following offensive struggles at the start of the season. Roberto De Zerbi's team went four consecutive matchdays without scoring in the Premier League, prompting the club to explore the market for free agents.

The deal did not progress beyond that stage. According to recent reports from England, Tottenham is said to have ruled out an immediate move because Icardi would not be eligible to be registered on the 25-man Premier League list until January.

His salary demands and lack of prior experience in England are also factors. Tottenham currently has Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush as alternatives for the center-forward position, with Richarlison excluded from the league squad.

Icardi can negotiate freely after his time in Turkey. The forward ended his spell with Galatasaray with 77 goals and 25 assists in 134 official matches, after initially arriving on loan from PSG in 2022.

Everton Keeps Mauro Icardi on Their Radar

A different scenario unfolds at Everton. The club received an offer from Mauro Icardi in September and has contemplated his potential addition after the transfer window closed with limited forward options.

With Thierno Barry as the sole recognized striker following Beto's departure and failed pursuits of Folarin Balogun, Joshua Zirkzee, Tammy Abraham, or Taty Castellanos, David Moyes needs another number nine.

Interest in Icardi hasn't translated into an official offer yet. Reports from September indicated that the Argentinian would consider a move to Everton, although discussions had not progressed at that point. Currently, Juventus and Milan seem to be the frontrunners for Mauro Icardi.

His recent form presents another reference point. Icardi scored 14 goals in the league during the 2025/26 season, despite 19 of his 31 appearances coming off the bench behind Victor Osimhen.

Multiple Offers on the Table

The Premier League is not the only available option. Juventus, Milan, Lazio, Olympiacos, and PAOK have also shown interest in recent weeks, while Atlético Mineiro has considered him as an option in Brazil.

The next steps will depend on whether any of these contacts materialize into a contract offer. Tottenham has cooled its interest until at least January, while Everton still seeks another forward. For Mauro Icardi, remaining a free agent allows him to negotiate his next contract without any transfer fee involved.
