Mauro Icardi
-
Anyone see anything happening with Icardi this summer, obviously fell out with (now ex) Inter manager and wasn't included in squad and can't see him getting on with Conte. Inter want Lukaku and rumours of a cash + Icardi offering to Man Utd in order for Inter to get Lukaku.

Also linked with Juventus but can't see them buying another forward when they have Ronaldo, Dybala, Kean and Mandzukic

Also, rumours of him freeing himself from his contract :S

Icardi’s off the field antics is why is price is what it is. I’m a huge fan. If he just played football and didn’t have a wife with a big mouth I’d be in. Also in Italy they love a swap deal.
-
If he moves to premier league - the wife with a big mouth could boost him to well over £5 with all the attention she brings upon him and media interest.
If he just played football his FI value would be small he aint a PB player.

I agree completely but no club will touch him because of his wife. He refused to play football, who would touch a player like that 🤷🏻♂️

@DavidMUFC1987 he would be absolutely golden if he went to Man Utd from an FI perspective

He would be 💯 but it has no legs.

Wonder if any truth in this?
-
@MrWh1te ..Cant see this one happening at all in my opinion.

@gball1975
Me neither :/
Wish it would though :p
-
Any thoughts/advice on Icardi?
-
@chaps1988 - Don't hold, but my gut feel is that he's run out of credible options beyond PSG. Seems likely that they'll clear out Cavani this summer and let's be honest - one of, if not both of - Neymar and Mbappe will be gone within 2 years. No doubt risks he could blow up but if he does go to PSG, that doesn't sound too bad a prospect with their dominance of L1
-
He's been the only one of the players I've listed that I've been able to sell at the Market Price, so people are definitely buying. Took 3 days to shift 100 shares which is a level of liquidity I'm happy with.
-
@chaps1988 he’s one of my biggest holds by number of shares. At various stages this season he looked deadly, but whenever Neymar was fit and playing, Icardi kind of faded. But I will hold for another season. He will definitely not stay at Inter, they have been very public about that. My verdict, listed in terms of likelihood:
- PSG sign. With Cavani definitely leaving and potentially Neymar too, he will be the main man next season.
- arsenal or Chelsea. He’s more of a Chelsea striker. Doesn’t have the Arsenal link up play. Pure finisher.
- Atlético Madrid or Juve.
- outside chance of Utd. They need a pure finisher and he’s gettable.
His PB scores aren’t great, but he scores tonnes and with the right move his MB potential is massive
-
Sky Sports are reporting that PSG and Inter have agreed a £50m deal. Great news for holders I think. Just such a shame France called this season off early!
-
@SteveP I'm sure he pretty much stormed out of PSG last season and they didn't want him back.
-
That said, search Icardi leaves PSG and there is link after link on a 57 million move to PSG!

I keep hearing about his wife but I actually never know what she's done - what's she said?
-
@Lukeroro I don’t know for sure, but I think the papers just like to use his Mrs as fuel for drama whether it’s true or not. From his Insta he was very vocal about how much he enjoyed PSG and partnerships with Neymar and Di Maria
-
@SteveP in fairness, he stopped scoring after Christmas. Before that he was piling goals in.
A change in form like that normally comes from something at home. My work productivity changes when I've got a mrs doing my nut in!
-
Icardi is guaranteed goals , but he once scored 4 and came 3rd in PB. Media seems to be outside the FI circle. Great player, great finisher. Dead hold.
