Paris Saint-Germain are willing to sell reported Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United January transfer target Mauro Icardi for €30 million (£25.21 million), according to Jeunes footeux.
Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG are reportedly willing to sell Mauro Icardi, linked with Antonio Conte’s Tottenham and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, and want at least €30 million (£25.21 million) as transfer fee.
That would mean a loss of £20 million for PSG, who paid £45 million to Inter Milan to sign the Argentina international striker (The Guardian).
CalcioMercato reported in October that Newcastle and Tottenham want to sign Mauro Icardi.
Juventus are also reportedly interested in the former Inter Milan striker.
Tottenham Hotspur should pounce for Mauro Icardi
In our view, Tottenham should do everything they can to sign Icardi for €30 million (£25.21 million).
Yes, Harry Kane is starting to score now, and Son Heung-min remains a quality footballer for Tottenham.
However, Icardi is a very good striker who has been playing with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at PSG.
The 28-year-old is at the top of his game now, and we think that the Argentine would make Tottenham much more potent.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel worked with Icardi at PSG, and he rates him highly.
FotMob quoted Tuchel as saying about Icardi in January 2020: “The guy is super reliable and very, very professional. He understands football tactically, works defensively and is very, very efficient.
“His work and his reliability for the team is very impressive, but I don’t want to talk about the purchase option.”
