A report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport has suggested that Inter owned striker Mauro Icardi could join cross city rivals AC Milan in the summer.
The report details how the 27-year-old Argentine striker won’t be joining French side Paris Saint Germain permanently, as the Parisians don’t want to spend €70 million on him in the current financial climate. Considering that the Rossoneri have been having financial struggles in the last few years, it may initially seem unlikely that they could afford Icardi.
However, the report continues, there are three certainties. The first is that his wife and agent Wanda Nara want him to return to Italy, the second is that the Nerazzurri have no interest in working him into the squad again and the third is that Inter don’t want to sell the Argentine forward to rivals Juventus.
Paul and Gordon Singer intend to invest in AC Milan, the report continues, and they know that they will need to market the club as a more dangerous force in Italian football. Purchasing Icardi could help them achieve this, as well as helping gain more sponsorship. Former Inter coach Luciano Spalletti could also join the club, and the duo worked together well at Inter in the 2017/18 season, where Icardi scored 29 goals.
