Arsenal Transfer News: Mauro Icardi Speaks Amid Gunners Bid Talk, Latest Rumours
- Updated: July 21, 2016
Mauro Icardi will likely turn down any offers hoping to lure him away from Inter Milan, with Arsenal preparing to offer €50 million (£41.6 million), per Corriere dello Sport (h/t Edo Dalmonte of Calciomercato.com).
The Argentinian striker has become Inter’s main creative threat in the previous two campaigns, and despite the club securing disappointing eighth- and fourth-place finishes in Serie A in 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively, Icardi is eager to stay on at the San Siro.
BT Sport’s Italian football expert James Horncastle published quotes from the 23-year-old Rosario-born forward on Twitter, with Icardi claiming he was intent on remaining with the club:
Icardi: “My families objective is to stay in Milan. I’ve never hidden the fact that my family is happy here + that goes for Wanda + the kids

Icardi: “Milan is our home. This is the reason why she is talking to the club. The aim is to find a solution.”

Icardi: I’m not interested in rumours + I don’t give a lot of weight to what is said + written in the media. Everyone knows my intention

Per WhoScored.com, the Nerazzurri attacker has netted 38 league goals in the last two years, but the team’s overall performances have failed to match his sublime individual displays.
OptaPaolo provided the statistics to show Icardi’s impressive strike rate following his first century of appearances in April:
