Mauro Icardi could still have a future at Inter, after club CEO Guiseppe Marotta said they were monitoring his form on loan at Paris Saint-Germain.

"It was a strategic choice, he is our player&nbsp;and we watch him&nbsp;with great attention."

Juventus could beat Real Madrid to the signing of Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen in January, claim the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2019/10/23-62562546/_real_madrid_niente_eriksen_a_gennaio_/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>.
