Journalist Mario Sconcerti dedicated a segment of his newspaper column for Corriere della Sera to share his thoughts on the ongoing soap opera between Inter and Mauro Icardi.

Icardi was stripped of the Inter captaincy last month and has not played since Inter’s 1-0 win over Parma on February 2 with tensions between Inter and the Argentine seemingly at an all time high.

“The Icardi situation remains incomprehensible,” he began his weekly column.

“If there is a break with the dressing room, how will he reappear? Sometimes it seems almost as if Icardi is wanting to lower his price.

“He is out of the national team, out of Inter, now has a reputation of being a hot headed man of strange discipline and it is far from the assessment he had two months ago.”

He then returned to discuss the reasons why Icardi might be trying to lower his pricetag.

“This could have the possibility of increasing his demands, less money to Inter, more to him. A hypothesis, justified, however, by the insistence of the case, which is truly unprecedented.”
