Contact made: Wolves closing in on “world-class” signing, Bruno Lage would love him - opinion

Wolves have reportedly made contact with Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi as they look to get their summer transfer business underway, and the Argentine forward could prove to be a huge hit at Molineux.

The former Inter captain was reportedly offered to the Premier League club last month, with Jorge Mendes being asked to try and engineer a move.

Since signing from Inter in 2020, the forward has gone on to make just 92 appearances for Les Parisiens, in which he has contributed a respectable 38 goals and 10 assists.

Although he has struggled for game-time in France, there is no doubting Icardi’s quality, with his 124 goals for Inter marking him out as one of the top strikers in European football not so long ago.

If he could rediscover that form at Molineux next season, he would undoubtedly be a huge success and could help to push Wolves up the table after a lack of goals arguably cost them a European place for next season.

Icardi certainly has a lot
