Napoli back for Mauro Icardi

Serie A giants Napoli are set to reignite their interest in Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The Azzurri were ready to offer €60 million for the Argentine forward in the summer transfer window, but the Nerazzurri made it clear the player was not for sale.

However, the circumstances have changed since as Inter Milan fans have turned against their star player, meaning that his employers might be ready to entertain offers in the January window.

Napoli are in desperate need of a high-quality striker after summer recruit Arkadiusz Milik picked up a difficult injury and the move for Mauro Icardi may be back on.

The 23-year-old has continued with impressive performances this season, bagging 6 goals in first 8 Serie A fixtures of the season.

And having scored a total of 53 goals in 99 league outings for Inter Milan, it is hardly surprising that top European clubs are casting admiring glances his way.
