Inter’s Curva Nord have released a statement wherein they have disowned Mauro Icardi as an Inter player and warn that the Argentine “will be treated accordingly.”

The Nerazzurri’s ultra group posted a statement soon after Inter manager Luciano Spalletti announced that not only would Icardi be returning to the squad but also the starting line-up in tomorrow night’s match against Genoa.

“After an internal meeting, all the Curva Nord groups unanimously decided that the behaviour of the Nerazzurri No 9 mustn’t be tolerated any longer,” the statement begins.

“The Curva Nord believes Icardi has shown that he doesn’t possess the necessary character, not just for the captain’s armband but also for a united dressing room.

“With this release, we invite Inter to take the necessary measures as soon as possible to remove him from a squad who don’t seem to have the slightest intention of sharing the immediate path with him and the future, also putting our end to the season at risk.

“Qualifying for the Champions League without a project that puts the concept of the group at its heart, which Icardi clearly can’t be a part of, only means setting the stage for future failure.

“For us, the value of the team must come before personalities and those who want the media limelight.

“Therefore, the Nord’s position is that Icardi is no longer part of Inter and, from now on, will be treated accordingly.”

They concluded their statement: “At Genoa let’s all stick together to build a future together and carry in our hearts the only thing that counts… Inter!”
