Mauro Icardi notes his Inter renewal is “always what I said I wanted” after committing until 2021.
The striker was linked with a move away this summer, with Napoli interested and his agent declaring that his Nerazzurri contract was inadequate.
“As I’ve always said, this is what I wanted,” Icardi told Inter Channel.
“There was a lot of talk, which is normal in the transfer market, but I always said I wanted to stay and we started looking for an agreement with the club.
