Real Madrid to sign Mauro Icardi?
(Baonghean.vn) - According to Spanish press, Real Madrid is planning to bring striker Mauro Icardi to Bernabeu this January.
The winter transfer market has officially opened for more than 10 days, but Los Blancos are still "inactive" in strengthening their squad. This is quite normal, because in the past, Real Madrid rarely made big deals in the middle of the season.
However, with the current situation, the possibility of Real Madrid's leadership spending a lot of money to bring a quality star to the Bernabeu is very likely to happen. The name that President Perez and Coach Zidane are aiming for is none other than Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi.
The Argentine striker's talent is undeniable. What Mauro Icardi has done at Inter Milan in recent seasons has made every major team in European football crave his signature. Zidane's Real Madrid is no exception.
Mauro Icardi's price tag of around 100 million euros is not too big of an obstacle for a team with potential like Los Blancos. As long as the Argentine player wants to move to Bernabeu, everything will be resolved quickly.

It can be said that Real Madrid is very eager to recruit a top striker like Mauro Icardi. In La Liga, the Royal team is 16 points behind rival Barcelona on the rankings (Real Madrid has played 1 less match).
With such a gap, the chance of coach Zidane and his team successfully defending the championship title is almost impossible. However, the task of winning a position in the TOP 4 is still not completely within the reach of Ronaldo and his teammates (Real Madrid is currently ranked 4th).
In the Champions League arena, Real Madrid will have to face PSG in the knockout round. To overcome the powerful French team, Los Blancos need to have more quality additions.
The attack line is of course the most important line. Apart from Ronaldo's position which is still considered "untouchable", the remaining positions are showing extremely difficult problems. Bale and Benzema are constantly injured and cannot maintain stable performance. Meanwhile, the reserve options also do not bring satisfaction to coach Zidane.

Therefore, President Perez cannot sit still and watch his team sink deeper and deeper into crisis. The best way for him to save Real Madrid is to spend money to bring world-class stars to the Bernabeu. Considering the criteria that Coach Zidane is looking for, Mauro Icardi fully meets them.
The Argentine is not only an excellent striker, but more importantly, he is also eligible to play in the Champions League knockout round. This is a big advantage for Mauro Icardi compared to Chelsea's Hazard (a target Real Madrid are aiming for).
That means, by recruiting the striker born in 1993, Real Madrid has another killer to share the task of scoring goals with Benzema, Ronaldo, Bale... in all the arenas they participate in (Champions League, La Liga, King's Cup).
It seems that the prospect of Mauro Icardi moving to Real Madrid is becoming clearer, especially since rival Barcelona has just completed a record deal for Coutinho./.
