Icardi and Palacio - Inter v GenoaReal Madrid are the latest club to be linked to Inter striker Mauro Icardi, who has yet to agree a new deal with the club.

The 22-year-old Argentinian international has enjoyed another prolific campaign for the Nerazzurri, and has attracted attention from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus in recent months.

According to fichajes.net, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti wants the controversial striker to challenge incumbent Karim Benzema for the number nine spot next season.

With Javier Hernandez nearly certain to return to Manchester United after his loan spell ends, Los Blancos are in need of another striker and Ancelotti believes Icardi fits the bill.

Icardi has netted 18 goals in 29 matches for the Nerazzurri across all competitions this season.
