Inter have never held serious talks with Juventus about the possibility of selling Mauro Icardi to the Bianconeri, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Beppe Marotta hopes to meet the forward’s wife and agent Wanda Nara this week and convince her Icardi must leave for the good of everyone.

However, Maurito has no intention of leaving the Nerazzurri and will begin preseason training under Antonio Conte as normal next week.

Juventus have always seemed the most likely destination for Inter’s former captain, but negotiations have never properly begun.

Marotta will see the Old Lady’s owner Andrea Agnelli at the Lega Calcio’s headquarters today, but it is unlikely they will discuss such an important issue in a public setting.

Icardi would only be interested in joining Juventus if he were ultimately forced out at Inter, despite consistent denials both from himself and his entourage.

The 26-year-old will not take part in tactical drills or preseason friendlies when Inter head to Lugano for their summer training camp.
