PSG Striker Icardi Considered Financial Burden, Potential Transfer on the Table

Mauro Icardi, the Argentine striker currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is planning to leave the club next summer, according to reports. His second season in the French capital has not been as successful as his first, and given his high salary and loss of a starting spot, Icardi is considered a financial burden for the club.

Icardi joined PSG from Inter Milan in 2019 for a fee of 50 million euros. Last season, he scored an impressive 20 goals in 34 games across all competitions. However, this season has been less productive. Due to injuries, he has missed a total of 24 games and has only managed to score 7 goals in 19 matches.

The Serie A is being considered as a potential destination for Icardi's transfer. Italian media attribute interest in Icardi to Juventus and Roma, but no specific club has confirmed an interest yet. Italian clubs, along with Feyenoord from the Netherlands, are reportedly interested, although no names have been explicitly mentioned.

PSG's management is not objecting to Icardi's departure. The club wants to reduce its wage bill, and Icardi's departure could contribute to this. The potential transfer could potentially reduce his current salary of 10 million euros per year, although the financial terms of any potential transfer deal are not yet disclosed.

The amount PSG will ask for Icardi's transfer remains unknown. In the past, the asking price was around €60-70 million, but current demands are not specified in the searched results.

Icardi's contract with PSG expires in the summer of 2024, but his departure from the club next summer is still a possibility. The details of his transfer are yet to be finalized.

Despite the challenges this season, Icardi remains a talented striker with a proven track record. His potential return to the Serie A could be an exciting development for Italian football fans.
