Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi

Atletico Madrid has been busy during the transfer window and it may be aiming to land another star attacker.

It appears the La Liga giant, which has gone through a rebuild, is targeting unwanted Inter forward Mauro Icardi.

With Joao Felix having made an impressive start in Madrid, Atletico may strengthen yet again before the transfer window shuts on Monday.

TOP STORY – ATLETICO LOOKS TO SIGN ICARDI ON LOAN

Atletico Madrid is negotiating a deal to sign Icardi on loan from Inter, according to ESPN FC.

The report says the deal for Icardi, who has been linked with Juventus and Napoli, would include an option to buy for €70million.

The Argentina international has been heavily linked with a move away from San Siro and doesn't appear to fit into the plans of new coach Antonio Conte.
