# Wolves: Wanderers linked with exciting Mauro Icardi move

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) could reportedly make a move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Icardi out of favour at PSG

The 29-year-old has struggled to be a success at PSG, having traded Inter Milan for the Ligue 1 giants back in 2020.

Icardi made [just ten starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/106964/Show/Mauro-Icardi) in the league last season, with the star-studded trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe invariably preferred in attack.

The Argentine’s current PSG deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauro-icardi/profil/spieler/68863) in the summer of 2024, but he could be on the move imminently.

### The Latest: Wolves linked with surprise move

According to [*Calciomercato*](https://www.calciomercato.it/2022/06/23/calciomercato-psg-premier-wolves-mendes-juventus-milan/) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/idea-shock-mendes-wolves-deal-argentina-international-returns-backs-previous-claims/)\], Jorge Mendes could be a key to making a move to Wolves happen, with PSG happy to ‘get rid’ of Icardi this summer.

Wanderers ‘could be a possibility’ for the striker, given the ‘very solid relations’ that Mendes has with the club.

### The Verdict: Worth the gamble

While Icardi has been a disappointment in France, he is still a striker of undoubted pedigree, having [scored 124 goals in just 219 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauro-icardi/alletore/spieler/68863) for Inter. Across his whole career, the Argentina international has racked up [204](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauro-icardi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/68863) goals for club and country.

\[freshpress-poll id=“399044″\]

He is someone who could be a marquee signing for Wolves, bringing quality and unpredictability to the attack, once being [hailed](https://psgtalk.com/2020/05/icardi-is-almost-impossible-to-mark-according-to-juventus-defender-chiellini/) as ‘world-class’ and ‘almost impossible to mark’ by Giorgio Chiellini.

There would be a risk element to the signing given his dip last season, but Icardi is someone who could add much-needed goals in the final third and improve everyone around him at Molineux if he finds his best form.

Whether or not he is happy to move to a club not playing in Europe remains to be seen, but this is certainly an exciting rumour to keep an eye on this summer.
