Posted on December 24, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. by Th.B. As PSG reportedly work with Juventus on an option-to-buy loan from Mauro Icardi, Arthur Melo's name will return to the talks. Nevertheless, the Old Lady would not play his card on the table for the Brazilian as he would be offered to several European clubs. And in addition, sporting director Leonardo would have brushed aside this possibility. What if Mauro Icardi left PSG only a year and a half after his final transfer? Having generally satisfied during the first six months of his loan agreed with Inter in the summer of 2019, the Argentina international quickly demonstrated the will of the sporting director Leonardo to integrate him over time into the workforce of PSG . And lately, Icardi has been more noted for his escapades off the field and his marital problems with his wife who is also his agent Wanda Nara only for his performances with PSG. Moreover, there is regularly talk of a potential departure of Mauro Icardi during the winter transfer window to come. PSG and strikerRafinha seem to be the two hottest files for Paris Saint-Germain in the departures department. And for the former Sampdoria and 'Inter , a return to Italy would be the most likely option. Longtime contenders, Juventus would be particularly excited by the idea of getting their hands on Icardi after a failure last summer revealed by Fabrizio Romano . And to do this, a player swap would be in the pipeline. On Thursday, Sky Sport reporter Rudy Galetti said on his Twitter account that internal negotiations would take place between Juventus and the PSG for a six-month paid loan amounting to 3M €. A call option of around € 25M would also be negotiated when the inclusion of Arthur Melo would be more than a mere possibility today. However, in order to give their approval, whether within the Icardi clan or the PSG executive committee, we would expect Juventus that the purchase option in question be compulsory and automatic. As for this point, the vagueness reigns. On the other hand, when it comes to the potential availability of Arthur , PSG wouldn't have to worry about it. According to information disclosed by Duncan Castles on the set of The Transfer Window Podcast, Massimiliano Allegri is not a keen on the profile of the Brazilian midfielder of Juventus . The Juve coach is not particularly keen on keeping him in his squad. A good omen for PSG ? It would not be really topical. Indeed, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the leaders of PSG would in any case have refused to carry out Operation Icardi by agreeing in particular to include Arthur Melo in the workforce of Mauricio Pochettino . Sporting director of PSG , Leonardo would like, at worst, a loan with an option to buy. Within the direction of the Old Lady, we would favor a sale in order to turn the page Arthur . This is what The Times reporter Duncan Castles told The Transfer Window Podcast. Juventus are also said to offer the services of Arthur Melo to several top European clubs. FC Sevilla would express concrete interest when Bianconeri leaders await the final response on a loan from Arthur.
