Juventus Swapping Paulo Dybala For Mauro Icardi Would Shake Serie A

Tuesday morning’s Italian newspaper headlines were once again dominated by the ongoing rift between Mauro Icardi and Inter. The 26-year-old hasn’t played since Feb. 9, after learning just days later that his captain’s armband had been handed to goalkeeper Samir Handanovic. 

Both Icardi and his wife/agent Wanda Nara are no strangers to creating drama, and this latest installment has seen the stiker cite a knee injury for the reason he continues to be absent from the squad. The latest reports suggest that Inter coach Luciano Spalletti has invited the troubled star back into the team, only to be rebuffed by the Argentine. 



With this in mind, rumors of where Icardi will go next are top of the agenda. The Corriere dello Sport newspaper has proposed that Juventus is a possible destination, one that could be financed by an exchange with Paulo Dybala. But is this far-fetched?

There may well be some discrepancy over the value of the two players, but this is perhaps counterbalanced by the fact that Juve are struggling to integrate their No. 10 in a system with Cristiano Ronaldo.
