Inter Milan has been facing some rough phase for the latter half of the past decade as club legends' and long time players' departure left the club in a total overhaul which still seems to be in an beta stage.

In this phase, the one player which has dragged the squad to relevance and saved them a few blushes has been none other than Mauro Icardi.

The 26 year old has been Serie A's most successful striker for the past few seasons, having scored 135 goals and provided 32 assists in the Italian first tier. That is one of the best goal tallies that Italian football has seen in quite some time now.

In an unfortunate turn of events, Icardi had a fallout with the Inter management in the later half of last season. With new manager Antonio Conte coming in and declaring that he does not want the Argentine in the team, the forward had no choice but to join Paris Saint-Germain in a season-long loan deal.

Though Paris Saint-Germain do have a buy option in the loan deal, but the volatile nature of football business nowadays does not guarantee that the French club will cash in.

Paris Saint-Germain's loss might just become Manchester City's gain, as they could swoop up the unsettled star in the next couple of seasons. Even after twoseasons, Icardi will just be 28, which means that he will still have minimum 4 years of peak period which strikers normally enjoy.

If Mauro Icardi could score more than 120 goals in an Inter squad which has far from the best midfield in Europe, the Argentinian international would take the Premier League by storm considering City's play-makers.
