From Lazio to Sion, Mauro Icardi will make his return, donning the number 9 jersey, as he looks to move past the months of rumours, speculating his departure. He will not start against Sion on Wednesday evening, due to a recent knee injury, but he will appear for 30 minutes during the second half.
“For Spalletti, his future was never in question, despite Wanda’s demands for a new contract. For Inter, Maurito is the Captain and will always be”, underlines Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Now his release clause has expired (€110 million for foreign clubs), the next step is his renewal. The Argentine and his entourage will sit down with Piero Ausilio and Giovanni Gardini soon, but it won’t be this week because the management team will be in China for an important transfer summit with Zhang.
“The fundamental areas of the renewal will include an extension to 2023, with negotiations for his salary, starting from 5 to 6 million, plus easy bonuses, with even more opportunity should Icardi have a ‘super season’.”
