Juve: Ronaldo endorses Icardi?

By Football Italia staff

Mauro Icardi to Juventus could be back on after Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly approved of the Inter striker’s arrival.

Juve are back in the market for a new No 9 after their proposed swap deal with Manchester United involving Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala broke down.

Gazzetta dello Sport claims the Bianconeri have resumed their pursuit of Icardi, with Ronaldo ‘endorsing’ the 26-year-old as a strike partner.

The newspaper explains he sees the Argentine as the ideal player to open space for him in advanced areas of the pitch.

With that in mind, the Old Lady plan to accelerate negotiations once the English transfer window closes on Thursday.

That is because the Lukaku-Dybala exchange could yet go through, while United have held talks for Mario Manduzkic.
