Mauro Icardi’s stand-off with Inter looks to be coming to an end after the striker trained with his club teammates in Milan on Thursday.
The striker, who hasn’t played for Inter since mid-February, is hoping to be fit to play for Argentina in the Copa America in June.
Luca Scaloni didn’t include Icardi in his Argentina squad to face Venezuela and Morocco this week.
Icardi will play in Inter’s final ten Serie A matches of the season but will not take the captain’s armband back, even though Luciano Spalletti offered it to him.
Last week saw Icardi, together with his agent and wife Wanda Nara, met club representatives last week to discuss a possible new contract.
The Italian giants are hoping Icardi stays to help them fight for a Champions League place next season.
With Spalletti unlikely to continue as Inter boss, the Inter board are hoping that all that has happened in the past weeks can be forgotten.
Icardi could leave the Giuseppe Meazza for just 50 million euros, rather than the 80 million fee that has been reported in the media.
A move to Juventus would see the Argentine link up with Cristiano Ronaldo while Douglas Costa could be used as a makeweight in the deal.
It seems like only a move to Real Madrid could persuade him away from joining the Serie A champions with Los Blancos on high alert.
Icardi has scored 120 goals in Serie A during his time at Inter and was made captain at just 22 years of age.
If Real Madrid did come in with an offer, Inter may look to bring back Mateo Kovacic as part of the deal after Chelsea’s transfer ban.
