Inter director Beppe Marotta insists he would ‘welcome’ PSG striker Mauro Icardi making a move to their Serie A rivals Juventus.
The 28-year-old centre-forward was sold to Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 with a clause limiting his potential return to Italy, precisely because they feared him trying to engineer a move to Turin.
Now that scenario could happen with a possible loan or low-cost transfer in the January window.
“At the moment, Serie A is not the Eldorado that it was in the 1990s, so it’s more of a transitional league where we often see quality players move on,” Marotta told RAI Sport programme 90 Minuto.
“With that in mind, it’s normal that we would welcome the return of important players to Serie A. In any case, it’s not up to me to comment on Icardi, as he is no longer one of our players and we are very happy with our forwards.
“What I can say is that quality players are welcome back in Italy and all of Italian football would benefit from that.”
Icardi is under contract with PSG until June 2024, but managed just three goals in 18 competitive appearances so far this season.
The Argentina international found the net 124 times in 219 games for Inter.
