According to reputed journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester United could bring in Mauro Icardi in a swap deal including Romelu Lukaku.
The Red Devils are poised to make some attacking additions in the summer following the underwhelming performances of their attacking contingent. The likes of Marcus Rashford and Lukaku have failed to provide assurance and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already had his transfer plans in place.
Icardi has been the primary source of goals for Inter Milan and should United manage to pull off the deal it would be a win-win situation for the Red Devils. The prospect of combining with Anthony Martial, Rashford and Paul Pogba could provide them with a huge leverage as far as the Premier League title race is concerned.
Di Marzio said, “Because of the dynamics after what happened this year between Inter and its former captain, it leaves this possibility open.
“Now, all the clubs understand that Mauro is easier to reach than in the past as they can spend less than the €110M release clause.
“I believe that a transfer can be done but only through an exchange.
“With Napoli, it is complicated given the wage that Icardi is making.
“The same thing applies with Edinson Cavani but it is the other way around as Inter wouldn’t be able to afford his €12M per year in wages.
“As of right now, the only concrete option is to do an exchange and I would say with Manchester United for Lukaku.”
