Antonio Conte orders Chelsea to seal £88million deal for striker transfer in January

Gol Digital claim Conte is keen to get Icardi to Stamford Bridge and would be willing to pay as much as £88million for this rather ambitious transfer.

Conte has apparently told the board to replace Diego Costa in this January’s transfer window by bidding for Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi, but instead

The Blues signed Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid in the summer but could do with more up front after a difficult start to the season, particularly with shock reports from Sport Witness that Paris Saint-Germain have been in touch about signing the Spaniard.

Icardi has shone for Inter this season, scoring 11 goals in just 12 Serie A matches to establish himself as one of Europe’s deadliest finishers.

The Argentina international is also among the best finishers on Football Manager 2018, being one of few players in the game with a ’20’ for finishing.
