Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have agreed on a deal to sign Mauro Icardi on loan from Internazionale for the 2019-20 season, with the French champions also snapping up the goalkeeper Keylor Navas from Real Madrid as Neymar’s hopes of sealing a return to Barcelona failed to come to fruition on transfer deadline day in Europe.
On Tuesday, PSG also took to Twitter to give the news. They wrote: “Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to announce the signing of @MauroIcardi. The 26-year-old Argentine striker joins the club on a one-season loan until 30 June 2020 with a purchase option. He is the 16th player from Argentina in the history of the club.”
