For the moment, the intentions of the Icardi clan are not very clear. Loaned to Paris Saint-Germain by Inter Milan last summer, the 27-year-old Argentinian striker seemed to flourish in the capital. But since 2020, the striker has scored just three goals and has seen Edinson Cavani regain credit with Thomas Tuchel. Not competing in the first leg and the return of the knockout stages of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund was very badly taken by the player.
Since then, rumors of a departure, and more specifically of a return to Italy have been rife. Even if PSG decides to pay the € 70 million purchase option fixed with Inter. Indeed, while an interest of Atlético de Madrid was recently evoked, it is Paris which has the hand. The Red-and-Blue desire is moreover to pay this 70 M €. On paper, Icardi would succeed Cavani. A perfect deal for the defending champions of France.
Two players often announced in the viewfinder of PSG
Except that the Italian press has been harping on it for some time: it is not impossible that Paris would buy and then sell Icardi. A scenario that seems to please Juventus, a great courtesan of the Argentine, whose goal is to prepare for the post-Higuain era. Not long ago, some media mentioned the possibility of seeing Juan Cuadrado being put in the balance. This morning, the Gazzetta dello Sport tells us that it would not be one, but two Bianconeri who could finally do the crossover with Icardi.
The paper daily reveals that the Old Lady would consider including Miralem Pjanic (30) and Alex Sandro (29) in the operation. Both linked to the Turin club until 2023, the Bosnian and the Brazilian have often been announced in the viewfinder of PSG. And today, their profile is part of the current needs of the Red and Blue on the transfer window, namely a left side (Kurzawa is free at the end of the season) and an element that can strengthen a midfielder so often depopulated this season . If Juve validates this option, it remains to be seen whether Pjanic and Sandro will be seduced.
