Despite it being almost certain he will join Paris Saint Germain permanently, Juventus remain interested in Inter owned Mauro Icardi according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.
The 26-year-old Argentine striker was loaned out to the reigning French champions with an option to buy attached during the Summer transfer window with that option to buy being set at a reported €70 million.
PSG have been very much impressed by Icardi’s performances since his arrival in the French capital and he will be the long term replacement for club legend Edinson Cavani, who is set to be allowed to leave the club for nothing at the end of this season.
Icardi, who has a contract with Inter until the end of the 2021/22 season, has made 26 appearances across all competitions for the Parisians. In 1745 minutes on the field, the former Barcelona academy player has scored 18 goals and provided four assists for his teammates.
