#2 Mauro Icardi
At 25, Mauro Icardi is one of the best strikers in Serie A at the moment, and one of the hottest prospects in the current transfer window.
As someone who plays as a pure striker, Icardi is always on the prowl for a goal and is one of the main reasons why Internazionale qualified for the UEFA Champions League this season.
Recent rumors suggest that Juventus might be in for him, in a cash plus player offer for Higuain and Madrid have also been linked with him. The very fact that Juventus consider him worth pursuing at the expense of Higuain should be enough proof of his quality - where he scored 30 goals last season.
Los Blancos' history as a club will be useful in this case, as it will be an extra factor in luring him away if Juventus can offer him the same wages.
