Wanda Nara, who is both the striker’s wife and agent, made a series of tweets along with an interview on Calciomercato.com today.
“From what I can see, Inter have put Icardi up for sale. There are many clubs interested. We will evaluate the situation with all due respect for everyone,” she said.
“Mauro would be very sad to leave Inter, but we’ve understood the club’s economic situation and evidently they cannot hold Icardi back.
“There is no release clause in his contract and we hope Inter won’t ask for a sum that is outside the market value, but rather suited to his contract.”
She then engaged in a Twitter spat with both fans and pundits, telling them “Mauro doesn’t want to leave, it’s the club” and denying they were just pushing for an improved contract.
She quickly deleted the tweets, but not before they had been spotted and saved.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Icardi – who is at their pre-season training retreat – met with Inter directors this afternoon to clear the air.
He apparently said Wanda had gone too far and he did not share her approach to the situation.
