While Juventus seemed to be the hottest track for Mauro Icardi, Massimiliano Allegri announced his desire to retain Alvaro Morata, coveted by FC Barcelona. An exit that changes everything in this soap opera and which could force PSG to keep its Argentinian striker.
The downsizing operation was quickly launched to PSG who let slip Rafinha to the Real Sociedad in the form of a loan without an option to buy. However, the Parisian club does not intend to stop there and will seek to separate from other players such as Sergio Rico , Colin Dagba , Abdou Diallo see Leandro Paredes . But another box makes a lot of talk on the side of PSG , namely that of Mauro Icardi . Barred by the significant competition in his sector of play, the Argentina international plays little and no longer seems to fit into the plans of Mauricio Pochettino who is simply using him as a replacement solution. With this in mind, a departure cannot be ruled out during the winter transfer window, provided that PSG This is economically the case for a player recruited definitively in 2020 against a check for 50M €. And so far, Juventus seemed to be the hottest track considering that Massimiliano Allegri always liked Mauro Icardi .
Juve want to keep Morata, Icardi blocked at PSG
This is how Mauro Icardi would be the priority of the Old Lady in the event that Alvaro Morata was coming to leave. The Spanish striker is Xavi 's priority for FC Barcelona , but Massimiliano Allegri does not hear it that way. Present at a press conference, the Juventus coach effectively sealed the future of Alvaro Morata . “Morata will not leave. He is a player who scored 21 goals last year, and who is already 7 this year. He is a successful player and he is very important. I spoke to him and I told him that he will not move from here because to find someone of his level, you have to take the 4 or 5 best forwards. Alvaro remains with a lot of enthusiasm, that's all ”, launches the Italian technician who therefore retains his attacker. So that puts an end to the rumors sending Alvaro Morata to Barça and Mauro Icardi to Juventus.
Therefore, if PSG really want to part ways with < strong> Mauro Icardi , it will be necessary to turn to another track. According to information from L'Equipe, Manchester United could be a solution. The Red Devils are monitoring the Argentinian striker's situation, but again that will depend on other moves. Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial are indeed announced on the start this winter. And if one of the two players, or both, were to leave this winter, Manchester United could therefore draw an offer for Mauro Icardi . For PSG , this can represent an interesting opportunity since while Juventus did not seem willing to meet the demands of the Parisian club, which hopes to sell its striker for around 30M €, the Mancunian club should however have no trouble aligning with this price and the salary of Mauro Icardi estimated at € 800,000 monthly. Therefore, the soap opera Icardi enters a new phase.
