SkySport24‘s report Napoli have given up on signing Mauro Icardi in favour of making multiple additions instead of one big signing. Marko Rog, Nikola Maksimovic and even Joao Mario are in the sights of the partenopei but Inter’s hierarchy are determined to bring the latter to Milano.

Oh no..we can get darmian, gabigol and bazoer with that 70M.. Cmon Napoli please make it happen
Wait a second, my Italian friend told me that Napoli hates us so we should never accept their request. Wanda wants to earn more money but Icardi wants to stay here. He should understand what is this jersey means and the captain as well.
Why people are still making a big fuss of Icardi? Ok his wife is slut but she only tried to get better contract for his husband. De Boer wants him to stay, he is our captain and team top scorer for last two seasons. And don’t forget he is still 23 years old and he was one of the youngest Serie-A top scorer in history.
If Rubentus dared to pay 93 million euros for almost 29 years old fatty Piguain, then I’m quite sure we can get more than 70 million euros for Icardi in the future. Moreover, we’re not required to sell him because Suning will take care our books in the winter. After all it’s really hard to find proven striker nowadays without breaking the bank. Lacazette will cost at least 50-60 million euros. Even for injury-prone Diego Costa, his club will still ask at least 40 million euros to get. Moreover, what’s the point of selling our best striker to our direct rival?
We should have worried more with Palacio, as he is still here. 34 years old and his legs have decreased a lot. We should have swapped him with Tevez as he would be happy to end his career at Boca. I know he was an ex-Rubentus, but he could offer a lot of help to Icardi and De Boer’s tactical plan.
We’ll see… I hope we won’t regret this
Didn’t Icardi miss games last yr? And yet he still scored 16goals in Serie A.
He missed a few early on I believe
Icardi’s price tag won’t go down in in next 2 years he’ll only get better, they’ll be back with more money…
and so mafia club-napoli … saved their money wisely.
my god……sell, sell, sell icardi!! i have no idea how this guys is getting offers for $60million. He’s not good at all. Doesn’t play defense. Doesn’t have any explosiveness, zero ball skills, thinks he’s a pretty boy, has a terrible wife/agent. only feels comfortable shooting with is right foot. Tries to rely on his heading skills even thought he’s only 6’1 and last but not least. he’s extreamly selfish on the pitch. If Chelsea make an offer for more than $75 million and we don’t take that offer. Im giving up on inters front office.
Selling Icardi now is suicide, you cant go and replace him with anyone els right now. Yes we have Eder and Jovetic, but Jovetic wont go out and score 15-20 goals. Eder maybe will, but thats only ONE forward. Players like Diego Costa or Sanchez that has been linked to Inter is not true at all. I will prefer Lacazette as replacement to Icardi, but we wont get him because he’ll end up in PL.
Icardis value wont go down next season, he’ll still be worth 60+, because he’ll score a bunch of goals for us. And if we dont enter CL next season, then i’ll agree, sell him and buy players that are hungry.
first off there is no way he scores 15-20 goals. he might score 10 if we are lucky and half of them will me PKs. Second its not suicide at all, its smart and good a business tactic. he’s not a team player and more of a cancer in the lockeroom.
He scored 22 two season back and 16 last season, what in the god’s name makes you think that he can’t score 15-20 goals.. You are delusional..
can you see a pattern here. his goals diminish as better players join the team. not delusional fella. just realistic.
No, just no.
Thats it? thats your response to the reality of the situation. You sure you don;t work for inters front office?
There is not reality in what you wrote, but if you think that Icardi won’t score 15 goals this season that’s your right and Icardi’s right is to prove you wrong. Which he will certainly do.
hey look i hope you’re right and I’m wrong. then again i wouldn’t be surprised if the right offer comes along and inter wise up and sell him. Gabriel Barbosa as WAY more talent and would be a much better addition.
I saw that you added something to your previous comment, I have to disagree, we now have Banega and Candreva who could also provide the balls to Icardi and possibly J. Mario. And arguably better coach in De Boer, so I would be very suprised if Icardi scores less then 15 this season.
inter need icardi, he can score with his head too, and candreva is on the right crosses will come in to him, he will be supplied from the left and right, and banega can supply from the middle
Never saw Barbosa playing but 19 year old kid with two season in Brazil surely isn’t ready to be starting striker for Inter.
LOL, dude you really have no clue.
The reason he scored less last season was because he got almost no service at all. Anyone who actually watched the games last season would know this, Inter struggled to create chances all season long.
He had the highest conversion rate of all relevant forwards in serie a last season. Topscorer Higuain had over 3x times shots pr game compared to Icardi, because he had better service.
Icardi scored more the season before because he had more creative midfielders in Hernanes, Kovacic and to a degree Guarin to set up plays.
Next season, with Banega and Joao Mario, Inter will have creativity and proper passing in midfield again + Candreva on the right wing, so chances are quite high that Icardi will score over 20+ next season.
i watched every game last season and my opinion still is the same. just because i have a different theory on Icardi does;t mean i don’t have a clue.
I will definitely agree with you regarding having better support upfront this year as compared to last season. I just personally think he’s a bit overrated and a cancer on the team. With his selfish play and annoying wife sideshow.
Plus inter could use the money from selling him to purchase some new talent. just saying, i might be completely wrong and narrow-minded when it comes to him. I think he get all the wrong sort of attention, especially as of late
You are free to have whatever opinion you want, ofcourse.
There is just nothing statistical or factual to back up your so called theory, quite the opposite actually.
maybe you should look up the meaning of THEORY one more time to freshin up. Either way they should sell this turd lol
And who you want to sign? Gabigol? He is not proven.. you muat be crazy if you think he is neymar
Plus he was injured for part of last season. He will score 20+ this season if he stays healthy.
That is not a pattern. It happened once lol u thinking icardi will score less than 10 goals is crazy.
Mate, just stop. U have no idea of what u are talking about. When we enter late January Icardi has already scored the 10 goals, mark my words.
like i said i hope you guys are right and I’m wrong. just don’t feel see it. either way Azzkikr is right. he has a much better supporting cast to set him up this year as compared to last year.
mehiću bolan, okle ti sandro ?!?! ;-))
ma, nema ja ništa protiv, samo onako pitam. znao sam jednog hodžić-mehića iz odžaka…
Iz Mostars sam, zivim u DK. 🙂 nisam ja taj hehe
znam da nisi, al nije loše u danskoj, mada je još šekspir rekao da “ima nešto truHlo u državi danskoj… !”” hehehe. samo se ti drži te “truhle” danske, jer bosna … ma, znaš i sam, jebga !!!
I was going to say similar too. I’m big Argentina fan and I’m always happy when I see Argentines at Inter but refusing 62M offer for Icardi who is not world class forward at all is really weird.
Sure icardi is lazy but he has a talent for finishing and he often makes the most of his chances. He had the highest goal/shot ratio of any player in Europe through a good part of last season. We now put a proper midfield around him in perisic, banega, candreva, kondo and Joao Mario. He will score plenty of goals this season. I just don’t see us finding a proper replacement for him for less than we sell him for and gabigol needs time, can’t expect him to start for inter when he’s never played in Italy.
Yeah and i think arsenal and napoli wont try to pay 60mill for icardi for no reason… his finishing and goal/shot ratio is incredible. I dont think higuain will score as much as icardi if he was at icardi position. Paying 90mill for higuain is crazy! Old and always missing on a final… Milito is more reliable than him and worht more than higuain. Scoring in every final…
I dont think selling icardi is a wise choise. Only if onyl someone crazy enough to buy him at 80-90million, it is a different case. He might not worth 60mill now, but later he would be. And if you think he cannot score more than 10 goals this season you absolutely crazy. 16 goals scored with a fucking minimal service is not bad at all! It is because football nowadays is a lil bit crazy as messi and ronaldo keep scoring 50goals a season that 16 goals a season just like a bad thing. And even messi wont score as much as he did with barca if he was a t inter with a depleted midfield and depleted service. Keep your head straight please
sell Icardi and then what? who should we buy? do you think eder and jovetic is as good as him? easy to talk bruh.. He is our best option now, i understand if you hate him because of the problem with wanda, but if you think he’s not good at all i dont know what you considered “good”
Okay i need someone to explain this to me right now.
Media bs no way …
