PSG hope he can continue that trend when facing Real Madrid in the Champions League this evening at the Bernabeu.
According to Marca, he could’ve played this fixture with the Merengues jersey, as he and wife/agent Wanda Nara had advanced negotiations for a transfer in both 2017 and 2018.
However, on both occasions, Real Madrid patron Florentino Perez scrapped the deal, as he had concerns over Icardi’s personality.
This was ultimately was prompted Inter to push him out the door and he eventually accepted the loan move to Paris Saint-Germain.
