3 players Barcelona should look at to replace Luis Suarez

#3 Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan)

Mauro Icardi

Fans of the Blaugranas always love the potential return of any of their prodigal sons who may have swapped shores in the prospect of gaining fame and fortune in foreign pastures. Barcelona is also a club that rates its own academy culture very highly. That being said, a possibility of former La Masia graduate Mauro Icardi, would be enormous news in the club. Not to mention that the Argentine is one of the world's best strikers right now, also having operated at the highest level with his current club Inter Milan for quite some years now.

But as we all know, Icardi was well set and at home in Milan, but only until a few weeks ago. The captain of his side, Icardi even scored a goal against Barcelona as both teams came against each other in the San-Siro-fixture in the UCL group stages this year. But things haven't gone well for him as of late.

Icardi's agent and wife Wanda Nara (formerly his own teammate Maxi Lopez' wife - we all know that story) recently approached Inter's board of directors and asked for a huge pay rise for Mauro, lest he decides to quit the club. The threats had a reverse effect, as Icardi was dropped from the squad altogether, and Wanda was soon appearing in National television, begging and pleading to get him back to the squad.

Rumours have it that Icardi is currently not in good terms with Wanda after the above row, and has since brought together a group of representatives that will be looking for alternate options for the Argentine - Barcelona being one of them. It is yet to be seen as to how the club is interested, but this is not the first time that both groups have been linked together in the form of a potential transfer, so we never know.
