And they claim it is unlikely he would be welcomed back into the Inter squad after his massive fallout with coaches and the board.
Icardi was stripped of the captaincy last year during a dispute over his £170,000-a-week wage demands.
His deal with the Serie A club runs out in 2021.
Should Antonio Conte not fancy bringing him back then it is claimed he could be offered to Arsenal - but only with Aubameyang going the other way.
Gunners icon Tony Adams has recently expressed his fears that striker Aubameyang, 30, could just "walk out the door" this summer.
There has been speculation that the Gabon international could be available for just £30million - with Manchester United one of the clubs reportedly keen on snapping him up.
And other reports had claimed the former Borussia Dortmund star was already in talks with Inter over a deal.
Tuttosport claim a swap between Aubameyang and Icardi could take place to satisfy both sides.
