Real Madrid are reportedly set to miss out on the signing of Mauro Icardi as the striker is set to pen a contract extension until 2023, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Argentine has long been linked with a move to Madrid, which he visited recently to watch the Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors.

The 25-year-old, who is under contract until 2021 as it stands, would be a stunning signing for Los Blancos having scored 120 goals in 201 appearances in Serie A.
