FIFA President Gianni Infantino weighed in on the Mauro Icardi and Wanda Nara controversy with Inter, warning “the profession of agents must be regulated.”
The striker has not played since he was stripped of the captaincy earlier this month and many of the problems are believed to stem from the role of his wife and agent Wanda.
She is negotiating his contract renewal, but also goes on television as a pundit and has been critical of her husband’s teammates.

“I would always want Icardi in the team and I hope that there can be a deal between Inter and Icardi to make both of them happy,” confessed Nerazzurri supporter Infantino told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“UEFA and FIFA are working together on a very important issue, which also has ethical implications, and a business that every year moves €8bn. The profession of agents must be regulated.
“People talk so much about the USA being the country of deregulation, but they have very strict laws there and even the threat of prison. That is not the case in Europe. It is time to intervene.”
