Everton is considering signing 33-year-old Argentinian international Mauro Icardi from the free agent market due to an emergency in their attack. The club has a shortage of attacking options following the sale of Beto on the final day of the transfer window and the failure to secure a replacement. Attempts to sign Folarin Balogun from Monaco were unsuccessful, and a proposed loan for Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United was also not completed, prompting the club to evaluate experienced forwards, with Jamie Vardy also being considered as a potential option. Icardi has 8 caps and 1 goal for Argentina. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.00m. Icardi has also been linked with clubs including Lazio, Elche, and Juventus.
