This is not the first time that Icardi has been linked to a transfer to Juventus during the January transfer window. But in the end, the old woman chose Vlahović, which for the foreseeable future has closed Icardi's door to the Bianconeri. Still, it is possible for Icardi to return to Serie A this summer. The Argentine striker, who has run out of time at Paris Saint-Germain, is looking to have the chance to play in the Italian Serie A again, scoring 121 goals in 219 Serie A games between Sampdoria and Inter Milan. Neither club is likely or willing to accept the 29-year-old, but Icardi is still popular in Italy with three potential footholds.
The main potential buyer bringing Icardi back to Serie A is AC Milan. Ibrahimovic is 40 and Giroud is 35, and it's time for the Rossoneri to think about the future, and Icardi will be warmly welcomed by his former rivals, who have scored many goals at Inter Milan. Another option is to travel to the Italian capital, where Mourinho is a big fan of the centre forward. Sources say Mourinho wanted to get Icardi last summer, when the Portuguese boss had just taken office, but the deal could not be reached. Now that Icardi has only two years left on his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, it could be easier to take him away from Paris, meaning he can switch from one capital to another.
Although Icardi's relationship with Diego Maradona is not the best, the prospect of coming to Napoli as an Argentine and trying to win another league title for the southern city is appealing to the 29-year-old. Napoli de Laurentis are also reportedly hoping to sign Icardi as he has been adoring the former Serie A striker for some time. Raising money can be difficult, but Napoli are expected to return to the Champions League, which is a bigger advantage over Roma.
