Icardi has seemingly thrown a subtle shade believed to be aimed at the Super Eagles star after his triumphant entry to Turkey.
Mauro Icardi has caused a stir with a cryptic Instagram post that appears to throw a shade over Victor Osimhen's recent move to the Turkish giants.
Icardi's post, which surfaced on Wednesday, the same day Galatasaray announced Osimhen’s loan transfer from Napoli.
Icardi shared on his Instagram page: “The lion dominates in silence, while dogs bark to attract attention.”
The post, featuring an image of Icardi with a lion's face, has been interpreted by many as a subtle jab at his new teammate Osimhen, whose arrival has since generated significant buzz.

The timing of Icardi's message is particularly bizarre, given that it coincided with Osimhen's high-profile transfer announcement.

The Super Eagles star’s move to Galatasaray follows a summer of intense speculation, that saw Osimhen almost complete a transfer to Chelsea on deadline day.
Osimhen had also been reportedly sidelined and not included in Napoli’s squad under new manager, Antonio Conte.
His departure from Napoli came amid a significant roster overhaul, with the Italian club bringing in Romelu Lukaku as his replacement.

Pulse Sports earlier reported that Galatasaray secured Osimhen on a loan deal, paying €6 million of his €10 million annual wages.
In tandem with this move, Osimhen has extended his contract with Napoli until 2027.
Since Osimhen’s announcement as Galatasaray’s new signing, the Nigeria international has gained over 200,000 followers and counting on his Instagram page.
The reigning African player of the year also helped his new club reach a remarkable milestone on their social media page this week.
