Real eyes £98m move for Inter’s Icardi

Real Madrid are lining up Mauro Icardi as Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement, according to reports.

President Florentino Perez promised big-name signings while unveiling young defender Alvaro Odriozola on Wednesday.

And Argie ace Icardi, 25, would fit the bill after several years impressing in Serie A, says a report on The Sun.

He was the joint top scorer in the Italian top-flight after matching Ciro Immobile's 29 strikes.

But he failed to receive a call-up to Argentina's World Cup squad - a decision believed to have been made for non-footballing reasons.

Real are long-term admirers of Icardi and Marca claims they are ready to launch a bid after making initial contact in January.

The former Sampdoria man - who has 100 Serie A goals in 159 games for Inter - reportedly has a £98 million release clause.

Real are also being linked with Chelsea star Eden Hazard as they aim to prize the league title back from Barcelona.
