PSG on verge of completing dramatic late deal for Inter striker Mauro Icardi

Mauro Icardi

PSG are poised to complete the loan signing of Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi on Monday, according to RMC Sport.

The Argentina international has fallen out of favour at San Siro following the appointment of Antonio Conte earlier this summer.

Icardi is reportedly set to sue the Serie A side for £1.4m after being excluded from some of Conte's first-team training sessions.

The Nerazzurri are keen for Icardi to extend his contract in order to protect his valuation ahead of a permanent sale next summer.
