Mauro Icardi spoke to Futbolista Life discussing his career up till now, with only one month to go for his 22nd birthday:
“I am happy in Milan, as I adapted well to the city and to Inter. Without doubt having so many Argentines in the squad helped, although there are fewer of them around this year, I chose Inter because they are a top club and am truly happy with my decision. They did everything to get me here.”
“Sampdoria was my launch pad into the football that matters. I still have many friends there and know they consider me a good person.”
“Real Madrid scouts were talking to my parents, so I could’ve joined them, but at that time I made the choice out of my personal affinity with Barcelona, I was certain that I wanted to grow and evolve at Barça, but I left because the system would not have facilitated my move into the first team. We made a decision and in the end the facts proved that I was right.”
“I learned to play football at La Masia and have many great memories of the place. Would I return to Spain? Right now I am thinking only of Inter and growing with this team to achieve all my objectives.”
