Mateo Kovacic believes Inter captain Mauro Icardi could “help” Real Madrid but Karim Benzema is “the best striker in the world”.
The Nerazzurri forward has scored 16 goals in 15 games so far this season, and with a €110m release clause in his contract he’s been linked with a move to the Bernabeu.

Icardi himself has repeatedly said that he wants to stay at San Siro, but a former teammate believes he’d be an asset for the Spanish side.
“I have played with [Icardi], he’s a very good player who scores a lot of goals,” Kovavic said, as reported by Marca.
“But we have the best striker in the world, which is Karim. Icardi is good and could help us for sure, but I don't talk about signings.”
