Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi is set to make his move to Paris Saint-Germain permanent after a fee was agreed between both clubs, according to a report in Sky Sports.

Talks between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter were ongoing this past month with the player’s price being lowered from his buyout of €70m to a price in the range of €55m and €60m, according to an earlier report by ESPN.

However, the total value of the deal now agreed for Icardi is £51.2m (€57m) with Paris Saint-Germain paying £45m upfront and £6.2m in add-ons, according to the Sky Sports report.

Icardi has spent the last season on loan at PSG and has scored 20 goals in 31 matches for the Ligue 1 outfit before the French league was cancelled due to the coronavirus in April, with the Parisian club declared as champions.
