# Arsenal to Sign Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi?

Arsenal face a fight to land Inter Milan sensation Mauro Icardi as the Italian side prepare to extend the Argentine’s current contract.

According to reports in Italy, Inter Milan are working towards a new deal for the Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City target, the Argentinian’s current deal doesn’t expire until 2018 but the club’s board are hoping that a new deal for their star striker will warn off potential suitors.

According to *Tutto Mercato*, Inter are preparing to offer Icardi over £40,000-a-week in order to commit his future to the club.

The 22-year old is allegedly open to signing a new contract at the San Siro- but only if his wage demands are met.

**Worthwhile Signing?**

Debate over Icardi’s future will prolong with many top European clubs vying for his signature, but the question of whether signing him would be a worthwhile buy.

I think we have understood that he probably will be a top player in the future but I wouldn’t like to see his development hampered so a new contract at Inter Milan would be fantastic because he will play regular first-team football around some very good players technically, if he plays well as a regular first-team player, his value will go up so bigger clubs will vulture over him.

Right now, for Arsenal, I don’t think it would be a worthwhile signing, the Gunners have an abundance in attacking talent so although there would be fiercer competition I don’t think Arsenal would need to splash out unnecessarily, and he would struggle to hold down a regular spot in the first-team.
