Mauro Icardi

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) striker Mauro Icardi is eager to sign for Italian football giants Juventus this summer according to Foot Mercato. It was reported that the Argentine international has already spoken to new manager Maximiliano Allegri in addition to his wife and agent Wanda Nara dropping transfer hints on social media.

PSG have been active in this summer's transfer window with the arrivals of quality players like Dutchman GeorginioWijnaldum, Spanish centre back Sergio Ramos, Italian shot stopper GianlugiDonnaruma and Moroccan international fullback AchraafHakimi. To this effect, Icardi could see his playing time reduce in the new season with PSG still actively interested in more attacking players.

Former Chelsea star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes the Blues should make an approach to sign Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan when the transfer window reopens at the end of the season. The Argentina international has endured a mixed relationship with the Nerazzurri amid his recent antics and reports have indicated that the Italian club may consider his sale during the summer.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Hasselbaink said that the Blues require a genuine goalscorer upfront and Icardi and Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski are potential choices in his opinion. However, he added that the former could be the perfect foil for the west London side, given he has the age by his side to succeed with the former Premier League champions.
