The Italian press has announced for a few days Leonardo's desire to block a loan from Mauro Icardi, who would have been approached by Juventus. However, the truth would be quite different … For more than a year now, the name of Mauro Icardi has been regularly mentioned in the transfer window of Paris Saint-Germain. Helmed by Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, the former captain of Inter Still does not seem to have found his place in the Parisian squad and it was not the arrival of Lionel Messi that changed things, on the contrary. The two Argentines of PSG would indeed maintain a most complicated relationship, in particular because of the problems encountered by Icardi with Maxi Lopez, friend of < strong> Messi. So a departure is once again on the cards and a return to Serie A seems to be the most likely solution. In Italy we are assured that Juventus would like to get a six-month loan, thus offering Massimiliano Allegri the scorer he lacks so much to go up the slope. Between PSG and Juventus, it always blocks Leonardo does not seem to make things easier, however! This Tuesday again, Tuttosport explains that Juventus would have clearly set the limits of this deal: for Mauro Icardi it will be a free loan with no obligation to buy, or nothing. Unthinkable for the sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain, who has no intention of letting the four-goal forward slip away in 19 games in all competitions this season. Leonardo would therefore like a dry transfer and would like to recover a large part of the € 50M invested in Icardi in 2020! A dialogue of the deaf, which should therefore a priori lead to nothing at all in January. It’s Leonardo who would like to get rid of Icardi Tuttosport nevertheless reveals a new facet of this dossier! According to the latest revelations from the Turin-based daily, it would not be Juventus which would have approached Paris Saint-Germain for Mauro Icardi … but rather the reverse! It is Leonardo who would indeed have reactivated the track that fell through at the end of the last summer transfer window, since he is logically aware of the need for an attacker from the Bianconeri after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. It is therefore the sporting director of PSG who would push Icardi towards Juventus, but internal sources at the Turin club would have denied to Tuttosport the existence of extensive negotiations around a possible loan. On the other hand, the player doesn't seem to be really worried about all this, having decided to cut everything to enjoy the holiday season with his family in Argentina. Skip back to main navigation
