Manchester United To Sign Mauro Icardi If Anthony Martial And Edinson Cavani Leave This Month

Manchester United are looking to add a new striker in this transfer window if both Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani leave. Red Devils have more than enough options in attack even if both Martial and Cavani depart, but manager Ralf Rangnick is not ready to take that risk. So it is reported that Manchester United are keeping an eye on Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi.

Red Devils are struggling in the Premier League despite spending big in the summer transfer window. Cristiano Ronaldo made his famous return, Raphael Varane, and long-term target Jadon Sancho also arrived at Old Trafford. But still Manchester United are struggling in the 7th position in the league table with 31 points from the opening 19 matches. They are 22 points behind leaders Manchester City and 4 points behind 4th placed Arsenal. So selling Martial and Cavani without any reinforcement will surely affect their chance to finish the season in top-four.

Cavani is strongly linked with Barcelona who are facing an injury crisis in the attack. Veteran striker Sergio Aguero retired last month after suffering from heart disease. New signing Memphis Depay is also out injured along with star forward Ansu Fati. Ousmane Dembele is also suffering from fitness and was tested positive to Covid-19 yesterday. The 34-year-old Uruguayan has scored just 2 goals in 8 league matches and finding it tough to get regular game time at Old Trafford since the arrival of Ronaldo and Sancho.

The 26-year-old French forward is keen to leave Manchester United as soon as possible after failing to gain the trust of new manager Ralf Rangnick. La Liga title contenders Sevilla are interested in former AS Monaco star but saw their loan bid rejected last week. They are expected to negotiate with another offer but could face competition from Premier League strugglers Newcastle United.

PSG Are Willing To Sell Icardi But Manchester United Are Facing Tough Competition:

Ligue 1 giants are willing to sell Mauro Icardi this month to get rid of his hefty wages. The 28-year-old Argentine striker is finding it tough to break into Mauricio Pochettino’s squad on regular basis. The likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe are undroppable choices for the Parisians and Icardi is willing to move on to another club for regular game time.

PSG are also in contact with Italian heavyweights Juventus over the sale of Mauro Icardi. The Bianconeri are struggling since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and looking to sign a new striker in the summer. But there are rumours of current number nine Alvaro Morata leaving the Turin this month, so Massimiliano Allegri wishes to replace Spaniard with Icardi.

Icardi is also a subject of a transfer move to Everton in a swap deal of Moise Kean to PSG. The French giants are a big fan of Everton forward and looking to bring him back to the French capitals. The 21-year-old Kean spend last season on loan at PSG and scored 13 goals in 26 league matches.
