Paris St Germain have triggered the option to sign Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi.
The Argentina international was on loan at the Ligue 1 club during the 2019-20 campaign before the French season was curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in PSG claiming their ninth league title.
