Is he really earning €5.5m now? That's fucking obscene. What was he previously earning? Something still obscene no doubt. You gotta be honest though, it's hard for Icardi to stack up against the other players with similar wages. The way he played against juve? That's a player worthy of €5.5m per season. But that's the one and only time I've seen him play at that level. I'm not saying he needs to play like that every single match, but he needs to make that closer to his mean performance.
blivious:If he's 23 and on 5.5 then imagine what he'll be asking for in 5 MONTHS time.
He probably wants to "explain" to a wide audience the "Wanda" case most of all in an attempt to clear his image.
Icardi had a relationship with Wanda Nara, who was then married to his Sampdoria team-mate Lopez, in 2013, with the couple later marrying and having a child together.
And Maradona made his feelings about his compatriot clear in a press conference held on Monday ahead of a 'Match for Peace' event organised by the Vatican.
"I don’t know if Icardi will be called-up for the national team,” Maradona told reporters.
“I don’t speak about traitors. I’m here for the Match for Peace, and Icardi has nothing to do with it."
The 23-year-old later responded to his fellow Argentine's comments, telling Sky Sport 24: "Maradona is not an example to anyone. His words are not compatible with peace."
