Icardi joined PSG this season and impressed with 20 goals in 31 games, before the Ligue 1 campaign was stopped and his club crowned champions because of the coronavirus pandemic. Icardi, who has eight caps for Argentina, but also holds an Italian passport, has signed a four-year deal until June 30 2024.
This is the first big transfer in Europe since the crisis linked to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 27-year-old Icardi’s recruitment could signal the departure of Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, 33, the top scorer in the history of the club, whose contract expires on June 30.
