Erick Thohir has admitted it could take as much as €400 million for another Italian club to tear Mauro Icardi away from Inter.
“Icardi has a release clause of €110m, any club thinking of paying it has to speak to the Inter executives. In Italy he would cost much more than that figure, he could cost €200m, €300m or even €400m,” the Inter president told TopSkor amid recent reports linking Inter’s captain with a move to arch-rivals Juventus.
The Indonesian, who initially bought a controlling stake in the club from Massimo Moratti before giving that up to current owners Suning a couple of years ago, then appeared to leak information about Inter’s plans for a new contract for Icardi.
“At the moment the release clause is still €110m, the increase to €150m has not yet been agreed with the player,” he said.
Since arriving from Sampdoria back in 2013, Icardi has been a highly consistent performer and has now scored over a century of goals for Inter.
