Sky: Juventus offer 18-month contract to Icardi as Tottenham won’t release Kolo Muani

Sky Sport Italia reports that Juventus have offered an 18-month contract to Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi, as Tottenham are unwilling to release Randal Kolo Muani.

Former Inter captain Icardi is the latest Juventus target for the attack, and according to Sky Sport Italia, the Serie A giants have offered the Argentine forward an 18-month contract.

Icardi’s deal with Galatasaray expires at the end of the season, and Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti already coached him at Inter.

Transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà reported earlier today that Juventus had sounded out Icardi’s availability, and the Serie A giants are now moving forward in negotiations with Galatasaray and their striker.

With the winter transfer window shutting at 20:00 CET tomorrow, it remains to be seen whether Juventus will have enough time to finalise the deal and if Galatasaray can move quickly enough to sign a replacement.

Juventus have opened talks with Icardi after realising that Tottenham would not cut Kolo Muani’s loan spell short, while their primary target this month, Jean-Philippe Mateta, will have medical tests with Milan.

Juventus and Galatasaray will also meet on the pitch later this month as they’ll face off in the Champions League knockout play-off.

Juventus have completed two more deals today, securing agreements with winger Jeremie Boga from OGC Nice and Bologna right-back Emil Holm.
