CAIRO – 31 January 2018: Inter Milan’s Argentinean striker, Mauro Icardi, could stop at Real Madrid this winter market, depending on whether the last-minute negotiations between the two clubs come to fruition.
In the last few hours, Real Madrid approached the player's surroundings to test his signing as a center forward in order to reinforce the team in the season’s decisive stretch.
Benzema's irregular performance as a striker inside the team, with only six goals scored this season in the official matches, is alerting to Santiago Bernabéu fans. It also leads Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Pérez, to try out the transfer market, looking for emergency solutions.
Icardi could immediately join Zidane's team, although the French coach has been reluctant to sign more players, in an attempt to protect his squad.
The Argentine international, meanwhile, posted an enigmatic message on social networks suggesting that he may be living his last hours at Inter Milan.
On the other hand, Inter Milan does not want a future without their most desired striker, Mauro Icardi.
The Malaysian president of Inter Milan, Erick Thohir, is preparing a new contract to ensure the striker remains at San Siro.
The new agreement will be signed in January, and the plan for Icardi is to continue until at least 2023.
He will charge $7 million per season and will have a termination clause of €130 million ($154 million).
Sampaoli spoke to journalists at the airport in Buenos Aires, when he returned from his European tour.
"It's a nice problem to have so much wealth in the national team and that everyone is going through a good time,” Sampaoli said.
“I spoke with Icardi and I told him what to do. That he cannot relax and that if he does well, he will be called up (to the Argentinean World Cup team),” Sampaoli added.
Having not participated with Inter Milan in the Champions League, Icardi could be registered in the continental competition with Real Madrid for the match against Paris Saint Germain in the 16th round of the UEFA Champions League.
“Icardi is being watched and is almost tempted by Real Madrid,” Sampaoli concluded.
