The best player in Inter Milan this season is definitely Mauro Icardi. The Argentine striker has carried Internazionale to fifth place in the Serie A this season, scoring 18 goals in 23 appearances. The Inter captain has been the driving force behind the Nerazzurri's rise in the standings of Serie A, averaging 4 key passes, 1 chance, and 2 defensive actions this season.
Mauro Icardi's contract includes a release clause around €110 million. Inter Milan have been rushing to renew Icardi's contract, as €110 million is nothing for a player of Icardi's quality in the current transfer climate. However, he has been linked with a move to Manchester this summer, with the club willing to pay his release clause, according to The Guardian.
This would be a good move for the Reds, as they have been lacking in strikers, with Romelu Lukaku being the only natural striker in the squad. His signing would also enable them to play in their preferred 4-2-2-2 formation much more effectively, as there would be 2 natural strikers, in Icardi and Lukaku.
