Icardi is added to Real Madrid's list Transfer Market He is the kind of player they're looking for

Mauro Icardi is once again a potential target for Real Madrid, with Los Blancos looking to strengthen this summer following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

President Florentino Perez promised major signings during Alvaro Odriozola's presentation and Icardi would fit the bill.

The Inter forward was already negotiating with Real Madrid last winter, but Los Blancos rarely make significant investments during that transfer window and no transfer came to fruition.

Now, though, the European champions could make a move for the 25-year-old, whose release clause currently stands at 110 million euros.

Real Madrid's reports on the Argentine talk of a pure goalscorer, a player who thrives in the penalty area.

This is the kind of striker they need, partly to try to replace Ronaldo's goals - the Portugal captain was netting an average of 50 per season - and partly to provide a strike partner for, and competition for, Karim Benzema.

Icardi has scored 24 and 29 goals in his past two seasons with Inter and the Italian club appear resigned to losing him.

In fact, they're already started looking for a possible replacement for the man who helped return them to the Champions League, but who hasn't renewed his current deal.
