Mauro Icardi ignites the challenge between two Italian biggies

In all likelihood, in the winter soccer session, Roma will step in to acquire a center forward capable of filling the’area and being a reference point for the entire team. For Evan Ferguson, the match with Juventus may have been his last in a Giallorossi shirt. And to say that, lately, he had even given some positive signs. “Evan is not convincing me and I did not like him even in the final, not because of a technical issue. He did not get into this spirit and like him some other new acquisitions”: clear words those of Gian Piero Gasperini, which sound like a judgment.

From Turkey they assure that Mauro Icardi’s name has already bounced around the Capitoline club’s control room. For now there would not have been a concrete proposal, but the fact that the Argentine has great knowledge of the Italian league, in which he starred with both Sampdoria and Inter, could make all the difference, all the more so given the difficulties of acclimatization manifested by the Irishman who arrived on loan from Brighton.

Beware, however, of Milan as well. Igli Tare and his staff have been working for weeks to identify the right profile to please Massimiliano Allegri, and on the list of possible signings there’s also the name of Andrea Pinamonti. The Sassuolo club would not want to deprive itself of him during the current season but, if the right offer arrives, it will be difficult to refuse. Raised in the youth ranks of Inter, Pinamonti already has considerable experience despite his age: he wore the shirts of Frosinone, Genoa and Empoli before choosing Sassuolo in 2022. The club signed him from Inter for 20 million euros, then turned him over on loan to Genoa and in the summer called him back to base.

Andrea Pinamonti is not the’only former Inter Milan player in Milan’s sights: on the Diavolo’s list is Icardi himself, who is in the process of breaking up with Galatasaray. The Argentine striker is closed by Victor Osimhen and has recently had some discussions with Turkish journalists as well, a symptom of his discontent.

All these factors, combined with the expiration of his contract set for fin season, make the hypothesis of Maurito&#8217s return to Milan feasible, this time, however, on the Rossoneri side. Market rumors have divided Milan fans: some can&#8217t imagine the former Inter captain wearing the Devil&#8217s jersey.
