Former Inter attacker Alvaro Recoba has shared his views on the future of Mauro Icardi’s future with the club after yesterday’s announcement that the Argentine is no longer considered as part of the Inter project.

“Icardi? I think like a fan, I really don’t know what happened with him. If it were up to me, I’d keep him for his quality,” he remarked in an interview with TuttoMercatoWeb.

“The reality is that every fan would like the best players in the team and it is normal that the will of the players and the leadership is important. They know the truth and what they want to do.”

He then spoke on Antonio Conte’s recent appointment as manager.

“When you are a coach, if you are good you are good, even if you were with an opposing team first. I think he is a good coach, so he is welcome at Inter. If he does well if will be for the good of Inter. If he does badly, there will be people that say that he is not an Interista.”

He concluded by discussing the idea of teams being the anti-Juventus.

“I think that all the teams in Italy are trying to become the anti-Juve. Inter is doing a good job in this regard but I think Juve is still the strongest team, they have the confidence to win for several years.

“It is clear that they are not invincible, sooner or later the moment will come when they will not win. Inter can think of trying to win.”
