Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi has welcomed reports linking Angel Di Maria with a move to the San Siro, claiming the former Manchester United forward 'has great quality'.
With United plotting a move for Inter winger Ivan Perisic before the end of the transfer window, the Argentina international has emerged as a possible replacement for the Italian side.
A move seemed to be off the cards on Wednesday, when Inter director Piero Ausilio suggested the Paris Saint-Germain player's wage demands were too high.

Mauro Icardi, captain of the San Siro side, said: 'Everyone knows him, he has great quality'
'You cannot think of bringing those in who earn three or four times more than our best player,' he said.
But during a Q&A on Inter's official Facebook page, Icardi suggested he would like his side to sign the 29-year-old.
'Everyone knows him, he has great quality,' Icardi said, 'We'll see if the rumours are true…'
Di Maria scored 14 goals and racked up 15 assists for PSG last season as Unai Emery's side missed out on the Ligue 1 title.
He became the most expensive player in British football history when he joined Manchester United from Real Madrid for £59.7m in 2014.
