AC Milan has reportedly been given the opportunity to acquire Mauro Icardi, the center-forward from Galatasaray.
As reported by Matteo Moretto via FCInterNews, the Rossoneri need to offload Santiago Gimenez before they can bring in a new striker.

Despite his storied history with Inter Milan, Mauro Icardi could make a surprising return to Serie A by joining their city rivals.
The Argentine forward has fallen down the pecking order at Rams Park, especially since the arrival of Victor Osimhen, leading to increased speculation about his future.

Thus, the 32-year-old is keen to leave Istanbul this January.
Moreover, his representatives have reportedly proposed him to Milan as the Rossoneri look for a new goal scorer.
Gimenez’s struggles in Serie A have led to speculation about his departure, but it remains uncertain whether his exit would be sufficient to persuade the Rossoneri to pursue Icardi.
At this point, Icardi’s return to San Siro seems unlikely, with several obstacles still to overcome.
