MAURO ICARDI has been issued a restraining order amid allegations that he assaulted his 11-year-old daughter.
The 33-year-old striker relocated to Argentina after his contract with Galatasaray expired, making him a free agent this summer.
Icardi was rumored to be making a surprising move to Tottenham when the transfer window closed.
However, the former Paris Saint-Germain striker is now facing legal challenges.
According to Bild, Icardi has been prohibited from seeing his daughter after Wanda Nara filed a criminal complaint.
The two-time Ligue 1 champion is accused of striking the girl at his residence in Nordelta.

Icardi, who is serving a 73-YEAR driving ban, allegedly entered into a fierce argument when Nara raced to the luxury home after receiving an emergency message from their daughter.
The girl reportedly sent a message stating: “Dad hit me. I’m scared.”
Nara interrupted a recording of the Argentine MasterChef and hurried to Icardi’s residence.
Upon arrival, Icardi did not cooperate with police officers or surrender the computer that his daughter had used.
As a result, an Argentine court has placed a 45-day restraining order against the Inter Milan legend.
Icardi is prohibited from being within 100 meters of his daughter, and any form of contact is banned.
Despite the allegations, the prolific goal-scorer has denied any wrongdoing, and his legal team issued a statement asserting: “Mauro Icardi never hit his daughter.”
They also emphasized that his daughter showed no signs of injury and insisted there is no warrant for his arrest.
Icardi and Argentine model Nara initiated divorce proceedings two years ago.
The former Sampdoria star is now romantically involved with actress and singer China Suarez.
