Juventus Reportedly Offer 18-Month Deal to Mauro Icardi as Striker Search Accelerates
Sky Sport Italia reports talks have opened following Dusan Vlahovic’s injury.
Overview
- Sky Sport Italia says Juventus have proposed an 18-month contract to Galatasaray forward Mauro Icardi and opened negotiations.
- Sportitalia’s Alfredo Pedullà earlier reported that Juventus contacted Galatasaray to ask about Icardi’s availability.
- The window closes at 20:00 CET on Monday, and it is unclear whether Juventus can finalise a deal or Galatasaray can source a replacement in time.
- Coach Luciano Spalletti publicly praised Icardi and previously worked with him at Inter, a link that bolsters Juventus’ interest.
- Juventus moved on other fronts by securing Jeremie Boga and Emil Holm, turned to Icardi after Tottenham refused to end Randal Kolo Muani’s loan early, and saw primary target Jean-Philippe Mateta head to Milan for medical tests.
