Icardi Transfer Odds, Rumours, and Transfer News
Icardi hasn't been to many teams in his career but has already made a positive impression on experts and fans alike.

This performance earned him the transfer to Inter Milan for €13 million. The player said that there were plenty of offers but joining Inter was a “dream come true.” For Inter Milan, he made a total of 188 appearances and scored 103 goals. During the seven-year period he played for the Italian team, many transfer rumours surfaced regarding clubs who wanted him or started negotiations for his transfer. According to his wife's tweet, in 2015, he could have gone to Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.
