Eager to get rid of Mauro Icardi, PSG could see Juventus do him a favor as early as January. Indeed, The Old Lady would be ready to welcome the Argentine striker in the form of a loan with an option to buy. While PSG would prefer to negotiate a purchase obligation, common ground could be found through the inclusion of Arthur Melo in the deal.
In recent months, Mauro Icardi is not at all in his plate. Little spared by physical glitches and personal problems, the Argentinian striker is unable to evolve at his highest level at PSG. And the arrival of Lionel Messi, who considerably reduced his playing time in Paris, is not helping his affairs. While Mauro Icardi would no longer give satisfaction to Mauricio Pochettino, PSG now intend to get rid of him in January. With this in mind, Leonardo would have placed Mauro Icardi's name in his transfer list. Information that would not have escaped the Juventus.
Direction Juventus for Mauro Icardi?
According to information from Tuttosport, the Juventus would be ready to take advantage of the situation of Mauro Icardi at PSG to recruit him from the month of January. Indeed, The Old Lady would have mandated emissaries to launch hostilities on this issue. Knowing that Mauro Icardi would receive a salary of 10M € annually, bonus included, Massimiliano Allegri would not have the means to assume such a sum. However, he would be ready to make an effort for number 9 of PSG. For his part Mauro Icardi would be ready to respond to the Turin call in the emergency in the month January. As indicated by the transalpine media, the 28-year-old striker would feel more outside the PSG project than inside. And while Mauro Icardi would be on bad terms with Lionel Messi, this situation would currently be irreversible. And Juventus should take the opportunity to win the day.
An exchange between Mauro Icardi and Arthur Melo?
According to Tuttosport, Juventus have already planned everything to welcome Mauro Icardi in January. Indeed, the Bianconeri would push to negotiate a loan with an option to buy, when the PSG should favor an obligation to buy to be sure not to see his Argentinian striker return at the end of the season. But to get everyone to agree, a new card could be used: Arthur Melo. To believe the transalpine media, the Brazilian midfielder, who would seduce the PSG and would be pending departure at Juventus, could be included in the deal to unblock the operation Mauro Icardi.
