Mauro Icardi is still a free agent after completing his four-year spell at Galatasaray and his priority has been to return to Inter in the summer. Other sides have tested the waters, including Lazio, Parma and even Juventus, but he has yet to lock down a new one.
According to Fabrizio Biasi (via Tribune), the shot-stopper has been tempted to return to his former team and would settle for being a deep option behind Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Icardi had a fairly successful spell at Inter between 2013 and 2019, but he also suffered from off-field issues. The Argentinian did everything in his power to build his comeback and would settle for a pittance. However, the management believed that they were appointed.
As for the others Nerazzurri strikers, the latest update didn’t scare off Esposito’s suitorsLa Gazzetta dello Sport gives information. Arsenal sent scouts to watch him in recent Italy matches. Given his growth and contract, all signs point to a long-term stay. He will try to replace Thuram as Martinez’s second fiddler. Teams coveting him will have to produce a check north of €100m to start the conversation.
Our thoughts on Inter, Icardi and Esposito
Ironically, the former still does not have a team, as he was still quite productive last season and his demands are not excessive. The Nerazzurri he probably thought he was too tough for the part he was going to play. If that’s the caliber he’s looking at, he’ll be hard to find in the side, but he should have plenty of opportunities from the minors. On the contrary, the star has been going nowhere for years.
