L'Equipe: Inter's Icardi closes in on loan move to PSG
Mauro Icardi will join the French club for the season, according to French reports
Argentine forward Mauro Icardi is set to join Paris Saint-Germain from Inter on a season-long loan, according to French outlet L'Equipe.
Icardi has been at odds with Inter for months and has been looking for a move away, with a deal to join PSG on deadline day now in place.
The striker will arrive in the French capital on Monday afternoon, where he will undergo a medical before signing a contract with the Ligue 1 champions.
L'Equipe report that the loan will include an option to buy, but that Icardi will also extend his contract with Inter, so that the Italian club can protect their asset in the event PSG don't make the deal permanent.
His current deal ends in 2021 and they would be left with a player with just one year on his deal if things didn't go well in Paris.
Icardi, 26, has scored 124 goals in 219 games for the Italian club after joining them from Sampdoria. He had previously spent time at Barcelona's La Masia academy.
