Mauro Icardi was ‘forced’ to leave Inter after fake reports his wife had a relationship with teammate Marcelo Brozovic, claims Wanda Nara during her court case against a journalist.
The incident occurred in February 2019, when notorious gossip monger Fabrizio Corona published on his site a report that Nara had an affair with Croatia international Brozovic.
This included an audio clip meant to be of the pair, although even then it was clearly unrealistic impressions of them.
“I never had a relationship with Marcelo Brozovic,” Nara said today as a witness in the court case against Corona.
“We are a traditional family and this story caused us problems, both within the family and outside. My children went to school and they were bullied, it caused problems for my husband and for me, seeing as I am his agent. Nothing in the story is true.”
Icardi left Inter on the final day of the transfer window on September 2019, going on loan with obligation to buy for PSG at a total cost of €50m plus bonuses.
“That story started all the problems and Mauro was forced to change club. Inter really made this situation weigh on him. They told him he had to move on, he had to change agent, they took away the captain’s armband and I don’t think it was due to his performances on the pitch.
“This whole thing caused huge issues with the club and directors.”
It was particularly damaging because of their personal history, as Wanda was married to Icardi’s then-Sampdoria teammate Maxi Lopez when they first got together.
Icardi lives with Wanda and the extended family of children she had with Maxi Lopez and those they had together.
The pair also spent most of the last few months publicly breaking up and getting back together, the entire situation played out over Instagram.
