Liverpool and Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern hope that they can overcome Inter Milan’s resilience after talkSPORT revealed that they look to fend off interest from the Premier League for their star man Mauro Icardi.
The Italian giants have a glimmer of hope despite the overawing interest from England as the forward’s current contract expires in 2018, meaning they are in no rush to sell him and they are in a position to take their time to agree a new deal.
But punters in the Transfer Tavern get the impression that maybe the Gunners or the Reds may submit bids which are too good turn down, and also big spenders Manchester City have shown an interest in recent weeks.
Although the ball is also in Inter’s court as the 22-year-old has said he is open to signing a new deal at the club as long as they meet his wage demands.
This has subsequently meant that Roberto Mancini and the club’s officials are working tirelessly behind the scenes to table a bid which Icardi cannot refuse.
