Chelsea keen on Mauro Icardi with PSG unsure over asking price | OneFootball

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Mauro Icardi this summer and have asked Inter to keep them informed as to his availability.

Antonio Conte forced Icardi out of the club last summer which left the Argentine goalscorer looking around Europe for a new challenge.

Paris Saint-Germain eventually took up the mantle with the Ligue 1 giants signing Icardi on a season-long loan.

They do have the option to make that move permanent come the end of the season but stories emanating from France say that PSG are unsure as to whether the €70m it will take represents good value.

As such, other sides across Europe have been in contact with Inter to discusses potentially landing the South American hitman in time for next term.

Chelsea, say Gazzetta dello Sport, are one of those teams, with Frank Lampard desperate to land a world class forward to offer competition to Tammy Abraham.
