Antonio Conte has told Mauro Icardi’s agent Wanda Icardi over the phone that there is no place for her client and husband in his plans at Inter according to a report from Corriere dello Sport.
Wanda phoned Conte in recent days and stressed that 26-year-old Icardi was ready to put himself at the disposal of the newly-appointed boss and show his attachment to the Nerazzurri.
Conte explained to Wanda that his plans do not include Icardi and this idea is shared by the club management with there being zero possibility of things changing.
Once learning this, Wanda still tried to convince Conte otherwise but the former Italian national team manager remained firm.
The report from the Rome based newspaper goes on to state that Inter’s leadership thought of not even calling Icardi for the pre-season retreat in Lugano, Switzerland but scrapped those thoughts due to the possible legal repercussions they could face if they followed through in not including him in the pre-season squad.
