Mauro Icardi has responded to comments about his physique by sharing an artificial intelligence-edited image that made him appear heavier, alongside a sharply worded message aimed at his critics.
The Argentine forward, who left Istanbul club Galatasaray after four successful seasons, drew attention with the social media post as uncertainty continues over where he will play next.
Although Icardi's next club remains unknown, discussion surrounding the striker shifted away from his football future after he addressed comments about his physical appearance.
He first shared the altered picture with a caption suggesting that it represented how his critics wanted to see him before posting an unedited photograph of himself.
Using the AI-edited visual to push back against the remarks, Icardi wrote: "Those who criticize me are just fools."
The post quickly attracted attention following his departure from Galatasaray, where he spent four seasons.
