Icardi heading to Arsenal?

Inter striker Mauro Icardi’s future has come under intense speculation in the media over the past few weeks. Arsenal are reluctant to pay over €90m for Gonzalo Higuain and have set their sight on the Inter Milan striker instead.


The Gunners have made initial contact with the player and the striker is set for talks with Arsenal over a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, according to reports from Sky Sport Italia.

The Argentine striker has a reported €94m release clause but Inter Milan will be happy to do a business for between €50-70m. According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, Wanda Nara, the agent and wife of Icardi, is travelling to London today to discuss a potential transfer move to Arsenal for the former Sampdoria striker.

The Gunners would likely to limit their transfer fee within €50m-€70m and would be ready to offer the 23-year-old striker a €6m a season in wages, plus bonuses.

Icardi joined Inter Milan in 2013 from Sampdoria and has scored 52 goals for the Serie A giants in all competitions over the course of three seasons with the Nerazzurri.
