Inter Milan forward has attracted English interest of recent late!
Both Liverpool and Manchester City remain positive they can beat Chelsea to the signing of Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi.
Chelsea remain the favourites to land the Argentine, with Jose Mourinho keen to find a long-term placement for Didier Drogba, and views Icardi as a potrntial transfer.
Liverpool and City are not willing to lose the battle yet, and are prepared to make a summer move for the 21-year-old.
Icardi has frustrated manager Roberto Mancini, and the Inter faithful after admitting he has no real interst in the game.
“Football is a sport I have fun with, but I play it and that’s all, stated Icardi.
“I never watch games and know nothing about what’s going on in the sport.
“I don’t follow other Serie A results or know who got into the Coppa Italia semi-final. Who is the Chelsea goalkeeper? I know that, I’m not stupid.
“I’ve always been like that, ever since I was a kid. At the Barcelona youth academy I lived right next to Camp Nou, but I spent my days watching movies.
“There are plenty of professional players who couldn’t care less about football.”
