In a video that has gone viral on social media, the Argentine can be seen lunging forward and appearing to headbutt someone.

While some outlets claim it was a fan, the Spanish newspaper Marca reports the victim was a security guard who was blocking China Suárez and the children from passing.

The incident has drawn widespread criticism, though some argue it was taken out of context and have even dismissed the "headbutt story."

Some Galatasaray fans felt Icardi behaved erratically or unacceptably towards a fan, while others defended him, stating he was merely trying to protect his partner and children from a tense situation.

This is not the first time Mauro Icardi has been embroiled in controversy. He previously made headlines for his divorce from Wanda Nara. From their highly publicised separation to their subsequent legal disputes, everything played out in the public eye.

The fallout from the mall incident remains to be seen. Galatasaray has not yet released a statement, but there is speculation about potential consequences, raising questions about Icardi's captaincy and his relationship with the fans.
