CM: Milan planning exploratory talks with Icardi’s entourage – Pioli reunion possible

AC Milan are planning on holding some talks with the entourage of Mauro Icardi ahead of the summer window, according to a report.

Calciomercato.com write how Icardi was sent out on loan to Galatasaray for the season where he has rediscovered his confidence in a team where he has a leading role, having amassed 9 goals and 6 assists in 12 appearances in the league.

Galatasaray are understandably pushing to sign the Argentine permanently from PSG but at the moment the plans of Icardi are very different, because the desire to return to Italy is increasing inside him.

Icardi is sending some messages, albeit indirect, to Milan. He is aware that the Rossoneri will be looking for a new No.9 for next season given the age of Olivier Giroud and the inconsistency of Divock Origi.

Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have excellent relations with the player’s entourage and an exploratory chat will be held even if there are no contacts to date. Icardi has already worked with Stefano Pioli and has the characteristics that the club are looking for on the market.

It will be a situation that could develop in the coming weeks, but the 30-year-old knows that there is also the possibility of being able to free himself from his contract expiring in 2024 with PSG.
