Real need Icardi

Real Madrid want to strengthen themselves with a goal-scoring forward, which may be Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan. Los Blancos are getting ready to complete the transfer in the winter transfer window already not saving on the offensive line player.

It became known about the Madridian team’s interest to the Argentine from competent source Sky Sports. The British reckon that the player will move to Santiago Bernabeu this winter already, if Nerazzurri management cooperates.

However, the forward isn’t eager to leave Giuseppe Meazza. The Italian source Football Italia reported on Saturday that the forward is close to extend the contract with the current team. It became known from the player wife’s words, who is concurrently his agent. The contract may be extended until 2023 with a salary of seven million euros a year excluding bonuses. Wanda Icardi’s message on Twitter is a confirmation of the words,

“Right now it is half past twelve AM and I am still reading pages of extended contract for Mauro Icardi.”

Individual awards were given in Italy in the beginning of December. The Argentine was recognized as the best player of the last championship, where he spent 34 matches and scored 29 goals, taking Inter to the Champions League group stage. This season the forward spent 19 matches and scored 13 goals for Nerazzurri in all tournaments.

Real need a forward like Icardi. Considering that the player is 25, he would become a great replacement for aging Karim Benzema, who scores goals more often with Ronaldo’s departure, but doesn’t shine with stability. By far, bookmakers are reluctant to believe in this transfer, giving preference to Icardi’s transfer to Chelsea – 4/1. Second are Barcelona – 6/1, then Manchester City – 8/1, while Real are only fourth – 12/1.
