Icardi have responded.

"I want to clarify all the fans who read pseudo-journalists and" serious "newspapers, who write without knowing or give instructions to write without having a real idea of ​​the facts, that my renewal will take place in when Inter will submit to me a correct and concrete offer. Only then can we speak of renewal with truth, evading the gratuitous lies that are now spread ".

So its true that our management is a cheap fuck.

well, at least this time he didn 't hide behind his agent/wife. ok, it's all about da moneyz.

at this pint, i'd say: give him 9 mln, new contract with no release clause and strip him off the armband.

His brother Guido https://www.instagram.com/guidoicardi/ also said that there are too many parasites attached to Mauro's wallet and used a vomiting emoji when describing Wanda.

Nice internal family relations our boy Mauro has. Aside from Icardi drama, we have an idiot Indonesian gambler and racist scandal on top of that. Intensive two months, hope February will be better.

Also i think people tend to forget how out of this world that Ibra deal was at that time, i was a huge ibra fan but when i heard that offer i was all for selling him.

Exactly. Putting it in todays perspective, we are pretty much talking about an inflow Barca got from Neymar.


I don't see Ronaldo and Icardi coexisting that well, but they'd still score 50+ between the two of them.

I dont see them coexisting at all. One future that was very good about Benzema was that he would often swap positions with Ronaldo so that he could play the nominal 9. Its the same with Mandziukic. Ronaldo is at his best when he can play both winger and the striker depending on the situation. With Mauro this would be impossible. But anyway, I dont see him going to Juve, especially when there are other big clubs that need a player like him more and have more purchasing power.

Three more points:
First, I think with the money from the sale, we would not think much and buy Piątek. We all know how much he scores but most importantly he and Icardi are very similar players so I dont think there would be much tactical shuffling needed. I would like this a lot, especially because we would still have probably 50M+ to drop on other reinforcements. However, to be clear, I wouldn't like to sell.

Second, We don't know for sure whether Inter did or did not consider communicating to Icardi through another representative but as we are talking about his wife, stuff like this may be very personal. Combined with fines for getting late etc. everythings going in a wrong direction. What we call negotiation tactics may slowly reach the point of no return. By saying this, I hope we do everything to keep him. It is not only about his quality but something that brings me to my third point:

Inter needs a star, a face. There is no doubt Icardi has this status (rightfully so) and I believe this was a contribution to a popularity of the club. I don't think either Modric or a player like Piątek would give us that. Im bringing this point because this is something that neither Real nor Chelsea pay us for. This marketing value in my opinion is very important and is another reason why Mauro deserves bigger contracts. Think of it as an advertising fee.

I wonder what would Wanda even be without leeching off football players?

He should be stripped off the armband. Give him the salary he wants (8-9 mln) and take that armband. We are not Milan, who gave armband to fucking Bonucci, let's have class and dignity. Handa would be much better in this role.

Captain also has a role outside the pitch. Talking about "correct and concrete offer" on Instagram is incompatible with that. Ofc times have changed, players have changed but I'd like to believe that the concept of captaincy actually means something more than just exchanging pennants with other guy before the beginning of the match.

Icardi is massively overrated here. He is excellent penalty area striker but he is not irreplaceable. And our last games proving that. Since Spalletti has started using Icardi as more mobile striker not just a finisher, you can see that he has stopped scoring. Coincidence?! No, just Icardi it's not appropriate for that system. He needs being fed by his colleagues to score constantly.

So fuck strikers like Ruud and trezeguet right?

I agree about this,its inexcusable for him to publicly criticize your team (even indirectly) especially when you are a captain.

They are good but nothing compared to the players who worked more for the squad and not only tryed to score (so Van Nistsleroy and Trezeguet as you said but also Inzaghi, Higuain, Benzema...)

Edit:

I think it's not necessary to have a worldclass finisher like Icardi if you have good wingers and playmakers. Like Juve with Dybala and Pjanic. Mandzukic is not the best striker in the world but he is doing the best tbh. to complete the offensive part. (of course i don't talk about Ronaldo because Juve was already a good team even without him)
It's also stupid to have a really good finisher like Icardi but not many players that could help him. And Icardi is not that kind of player like Ibra or Il Fenomeno that could change you a game from his own.

if i were marotta, i'd give him what he wants, no release clause and in the summer i'd sell him. he's a great forward but he's no prime messi.

If anything Icardi is under rated here!! We have one of the best strikers in the world and we act like losing him is not a problem. Insanity.

And people in here act like he s not worth a 7-9 mio salary. Then go on and make suggestions like lets sign piatek who had half a good season and would only save us around 1/2 mio a season compared to icardi.

For fuck sake people are suggesting we just let lautaro take Icardis place lautaro is not even close to be ready for that! We can talk about this in one or two seasons but now?

Sorry, but many people here acting like loosing Icardi means we are doomed, we will stop scoring and Inter will instantly drop 4-5 positions down. And that it's not a true.

Never said that Icardi could change a game from his own,simply stating that its stupid to say that strikers who cant change a game from his own is overrated. This is football,not basketball so it involves a lot more teamwork.

So Skriniar can rant in his IG slammed the bullshit media mocking his fellow countrymen and being hailed as future captain while Icardi do the same thing clarifying thing over some fake accusation made up by another shitty journalist but people call out him as if he didnt deserved the armband. What a joke. Last thing you know they both will gone if Inter still run by bunch of clown.

So let us know whom you think is worthy to replace Mauro? with the same money that he is sold for.

Dude, it's not my job to scouting or making such decisions. It's up to the management and the coach to decide what type of forward they need and what is on the market. If we sell Icardi there are two scenarios in my view. First one is to strengthen properly the team and the other is similar to Roma to make some bad choices and drop back to the battle for the 4th place.

In regards to him being late to practice and doing the whole Instagram complaining thing that athletes tend to do these days, well Javier Zanetti he is not. But JZ was one in a million in terms of being a captain and just generally a good human being.

That being said, it'd be ludicrous to sell him right now. 110m is a pittance in football nowadays. If you're lucky it might be enough to get you a couple good but not great footballers. And knowing the incompetence of Inter, it would be spent towards Alvaro Morata, Luka Modric and a random 19 year old Argentinean.

I've read Inter offering 7m to Icardi? Get some performance related bonuses in there and that should be more than enough you would think...
