Reportedly, the Italian side knows that its top striker could leave soon. Talks are ongoing with the Spanish giant
NEWS ICARDI INTER REAL MADRID / There are top players that can change the history of clubs. There are strikers that make fans dream. Certainly, Mauro Icardi is the top forward in Italy at this time. Although he scored several goals in the past as well, since Luciano Spalletti's arrival at Inter, the Argentine is an unstoppable machine. In the current season, Icardi made 14 appearances and scored 15 goals in the 1,244 minutes that he played.
Spalletti's offensive strategies are renowned. When the Tuscan coach left Roma to join the Nerazzurri, most of the football pundits stated that this could have been Icardi's best season ever. The prediction is being confirmed. The Argentine perfectly fits in Spalletti strategical approach. Inter is currently chasing Napoli at the top of the Italian Serie A.
Real Madrid approaches Inter. Icardi could move to Spain soon
Reportedly, Mauro Icardi could join Real Madrid next summer. According to the Spanish outlet 'Don Balon', in the past few weeks, the 'Blancos' restarted the negotiations to sign the talented 24 years old. Although Spalletti would not be willing to let him go, in the contract of the Argentine there's a €110 million buyout clause. Although this sum seems to be prohibitive for most of the European clubs, Real Madrid could easily afford it. We should also think, that just a few years ago, Gonzalo Higuain moved from Napoli to Juventus for €90m and last summer, PSG spent €222m for Neymar Jr.
Inter's captain loves his current team but Real Madrid is widely considered the best team in the world. Is it really possible to refuse an offer from such a top European side? The answer is probably not!
Icardi was interviewed right after the Serie A away match that Inter won against Cagliari and stated: “I would not refuse Real Madrid because other people are in charge of doing so on my behalf.” This was a very polite and diplomatic way to not to compromise a situation that might explode next summer. The striker is doing great things for Inter but with €110m in hand, Walter Sabatini and Ausilio could totally reshape a team making it even stronger than ever.
