Juventus may still look to sign Inter owned forward Mauro Icardi in the summer, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
The report details how the Old Lady’s top transfer target is Tottenham talisman Harry Kane. The 26-year-old Englishman has been specifically highlighted by Juventus CEO Fabio Paratici, but Juve know that the player would only be sold by Spurs for a deal worth over €100 million.
The Bianconeri are therefore looking for alternative options, with the next best being Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus and Inter owned forward Mauro Icardi.
Juventus are hoping that Paris Saint Germain will activate the €70 million buy option attached to Icardi, the report continues, as they would rather negotiate with the French club than with rivals Inter, who are unlikely to give them a good deal.
The 27-year-old Argentine striker has made 31 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1958 minutes. In that time, he has scored 20 goals and provided four assists.
