AC Milan ‘dream’ of Mauro Icardi transfer but would need to pay bitter rivals Inter £88m for outcast striker
AC MILAN are considering a move for striker Mauro Icardi from their rivals Inter but the outcast could cost them £88million.
Icardi is currently on loan at Paris Saint-Germain, but according to reports, the French side have terminated his temporary deal.
The reports suggest PSG have cut short Icardi's loan deal following comments made by his wife and agent Wanda Nara.
Controversial Wanda angered PSG chiefs after informing the club that the striker wants a return to Italy when the campaign finally ends.
Corriere dello Sport are reporting AC Milan are "dreaming" of a move for the Argentinian but the asking price could put them off a potential move.
Icardi, 27, has been in fine form since moving to the French capital from Inter on loan.
The striker, who fell out with Inter boss Antonio Conte, has scored 17 goals in 26 appearances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season.
Serie A rivals Juventus are also considering a move for Icardi, with also reporting the Serie A leaders are uniquely placed in being able to afford Icardi and offer him guaranteed shots at winning titles season after season.
Antonio Conte could be in for a busy summer transfer window, if he manages to move Icardi and Ivan Perisic on.
Perisic is currently on loan at Bayern Munich and Inter, who have 11 players out on loan, are hoping to receive close to £150m for their unwanted players to fund their summer business.
Inter could see Lautaro Martinez leave in the transfer window with both Chelsea, Manchester City and Barcelona considering moves for the Argentinian.
According to Spanish publication , the English duo are willing to pay in the region of £9million-a-year for Martinez and trigger his release clause, believed to be £100m.
The reports suggest Martinez is holding out for a move to Barcelona but that could spell the end for Antoine Griezmann, who has struggled to make an impact at the Nou Camp since joining from Atletico Madrid.
