Mauro Icardi was reportedly offered to Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United last week.

And now Paris Saint-Germain are claimed to be willing to sell the striker in the January transfer window.

Foot Mercato reported last week that representatives of Icardi have offered the 28-year-old Argentina international striker to Tottenham and Newcastle.

And L’Equipe (print edition, page 15, December 10, 2021) have claimed that Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG are willing to sell the 28-year-old for €50 million (£42.63 million).

Tottenham and Newcastle should jump at Mauro Icardi chance

In our opinion, both Tottenham and Newcastle should jump at the chance to sign Icardi.

Yes, the striker is not playing much, but how many attackers can get in any team that has Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi?

The Argentina international is 28 now, which means that he is at his peak.

We know from Icardi’s successful time at Inter Milan just good and prolific a striker he is.

Harry Kane is not having the best of seasons at Tottenham, and head coach Antonio Conte will surely relish having another top-quality striker option in Icardi.

As for Newcastle, if PIF are to really make a splash in the January transfer window, then they need to make signings like Icardi.
