Inter tonight confirmed they were ‘surprised and disappointed’ by Mauro Icardi’s decision to take legal action against the club, according to Repubblica.it.
Icardi is demanding a complete and immediate reintegration into first-team training, as well as €1.5 million in compensation.
The striker is thought to be angry at ‘discriminatory’ behaviour towards him from the Nerazzurri, who have made it clear he is no longer part of their plans.
Only a few hours ago, Inter CEO Beppe Marotta told reporters he was very confident both parties would find a satisfying solution for Icardi’s future.
Antonio Conte has excluded Icardi from tactical drills at Appiano Gentile throughout the summer and left him out of Monday’s Serie A opener against Lecce.
Icardi believes he has a right to take part in all sessions in training and wants Inter to pay him damages for denying him that opportunity.
It remains to be seen what impact tonight’s developments will have on Maurito’s immediate future, with only three days left until the transfer window shuts.
Reports elsewhere on Friday night claimed Monaco had withdrawn their interest for the forward, having previously offered Icardi an annual wage worth €10 million after tax.
