Inter Milan may consider using Mauro Icardi in a bid to land Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to reports in the Italian media.
The Nerazzurri are short of cash and could look to use the Argentinian international as part of a swap deal for the Gunners striker, but fans on Twitter have had a mixed reaction to the news:
Very tempting deal ?

Can't see this happening, unless we get Champions League Football for next season, which is highly unlikely

I’m all in for Icardi but his wife man. Destroyed so many bridges.

It must be pointed out that Icardi could seal a move to Paris Saint-Germain on a permanent basis if the Ligue One club take up their option to sign him.
The only way that the Argentinian could be used in any part-exchange offer is if PSG send the player back to Italy, which isn’t likely considering he scored 20 goals in all competitions this season.
As some supporters have mentioned, Icardi may be more trouble than he’s worth, with his wife and agent Wanda Nara said to be a notoriously difficult person to negotiate with.
