Lionel Messi’s arrival in Paris Saint Germainhas made a lot of fans happy and the expectations around the team have grown. However, some players like Mauro Icardi are in a difficult situation to have minutes this season. With the summer transfer window still active, there’s still a chance for a move.
With Messi still having to get in shape after spending one month on vacation, Mauricio Pochettino has lined up Icardi alongside Kylian Mbappe, who is considering leaving PSG according to reports. The Argentinian has responded well, scoring two goals in two matches thus far.
However, PSG has many players on attack that will try to see minutes this season. Alongside Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and Icardi, Pochettino also has Angel Di María, Pablo Sarabia, Julian Draxler and Arnold Kalimuendo, who returned from a loan.
WouldIcardi have room in PSG with Messi?
The chances for Icardi to play in PSG depend on various factors. If Kylian Mbappe finally decides to stay on the team, it seems inevitable that Pochettino will decide to play with three forwards: Neymar, Mbappe and Messi. So, Icardi would be on the bench most of the time, as he also struggled to become a starter in the first place.
However, if Mbappe doesn’t stay and ends up signing with Real Madrid, as it has been reported, Icardi could have chances to have a pivotal role in the team. But as nothing is clear yet, the Argentinian striker has also offers from other teams.
It has been reported that AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho wants him to replace Edin Dzeko. Also, La Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Juventus is also interested in signing Icardi, as the rumours of a possible move of Cristiano Ronaldo to PSG. Right now, everything seems possible.
