And that looks like a bargain for a 25-year-old forward who has scored 53 goals in his last two Serie A seasons.

Corriere de sport claim, if the blues pay the £7m release clause for Sarri, the Italian will launch a move for his favourite striker.

While boss at Napoli – before leaving at the end

Incredibly, Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli has axed the brilliant marksman from his World Cup squad – with stars like Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain preferred –but that means he will be fresh for the start of next season.

On the final day of the Italian season, Icardi netted a crucial penalty to take his league tally to 29 and send Inter Milan to the Champions League. read more
