PSG mimic eye-watering transfer strategy Arsenal employed with Mesut Ozil

Paris Saint-Germain are set to pay 90 per cent of Mauro Icardi's salary while the Argentinian is on loan at Galatasaray this season.

According to RMC, Icardi will have the vast majority of his wages paid by parent club PSG, after joining the Turkish giants on loan until the end of the campaign. Icardi scored just five times in 30 appearances last term and has made the switch to the Super Lig as he looks to rejuvenate his career.

However, in an unusual move, Galatasaray tweeted exactly how the 29-year-old's wages will be handled during his loan season in Turkey. Icardi is currently paid €6.75million per year by PSG but Galatasaray will only pay €750,000 of that wage this campaign. That's just 11.1 per cent of Icardi's overall pay, meaning PSG are paying the forward €6m this season, despite the fact he'll be playing for another team.
