Inter wants to start again immediately after the European disappointment and to do so they rely above all on goals from Mauro Icardi, ‘Il bomber” and team captain, and the best player on the pitch against PSV.
Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport emphasizes the importance of Maurito for Luciano Spalletti and for the whole team. The Argentine is acting like a true leader on the field, but also off the pitch supporting the group and suggesting his desire to remain in Milan for a long time.
Renewal talks remain ongoing, even if recent developments point to a positive conclusion and the Nerazzurri fans are hopeful. A new contact between the parties will also happen on Tuesday at the Christmas party dinner of the team, but that will not be the right opportunity to talk about such a sensitive topic.
The face to face talks on the topic will be postponed until January as the training at Appiano after the last match of 2018 (on the 29th December at Empoli) will resume on January 7th – writes the Rome-based newspaper.
Certainly if Icardi will continue to play such a key role the requests of his wife and agent will be more reasonable but it is also true that, despite being less Icardi-dependent than last season, the fortunes and results of this Inter team are quite linked to the performance of ‘Il bomber” and their captain.
