Chelsea to raid Inter for in demand striker

18 February 2015 14:02

Not all is well in Milan where football is concerned with both Inter and AC Milan off the Serie A pace with 23 games played. Although just six points separate Fiorentina in 4th and Inter in tenth it is important they build on their last two wins at Palermo and Atalanta after three straight defeats.

What they will really need to do is fend off the clubs that will be waiting to cherry pick their best players and one of their brightest assets is Mauro Icardi. The 21-year-old Argentinian joined Inter in 2013 where he has gone on to make 52 appearances, scoring 27 goals, 18 this season which has put him second only to Tevez.

Icardi is reported to be earmarked to replace Didier Drogba with Mourinho looking to establish a new generation of stars with which he can challenge again for Europe’s top prize. Icardi and his media celebrity wife have become something of a favourite with Paparazzi as well as courting controversy as his wife was married to Maxi Lopez.

Chelsea will face competition from both Man United and Juventus. United are reported to be looking at attacking options with RVP and Falcao struggling with form and Wayne Rooney out of position in midfield. Icardi is rated at £30million according to the report with Inter already looking for a replacement.
