Inter outcast Icardi joins PSG on loan

Inter striker Mauro Icardi has joined Paris Saint-Germain on a loan for the duration of the 2019-20 season.

The loan reportedly includes an option for PSG to buy the 26-year-old Icardi for €65 million (£59m/$71m).

This season, PSG will pay Icardi €8m, with a €2m bonus should they activate the purchase option in the deal.

If PSG do not activate the purchase option, Icardi would return to Inter on wages of €5m per season.

The Argentine's future with Inter has been in doubt since February 2019, when he was stripped of his club captaincy amid reports of contentious contract negotiations between himself, his wife and agent Wanda Nara, and Inter.
