Of course, this is welcome news for the Ligue 1 powerhouse. Icardi, who helped PSG win its third consecutive league title this season, surely impressed in his first campaign at the Parc des Princes.
Per ESPN sources, PSG and Inter Milan agreed to a deal worth around 50 million euros, a number that was surely lowered due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the two sides were able to work their magic and come to an agreement.
This past season with PSG, Icardi made 31 appearances and scored 20 goals. After making such an impact, the front office wanted to make sure he'd back for sure next season. Mission accomplished.
