Mauro Icardi’s decision to sign for Juventus or Napoli will be influenced by what either move would mean for his family, as Corriere dello Sport explained this morning.

Inter’s former captain is in limbo at the moment as he trains at Appiano Gentile, having been left out of the Nerazzurri’s squad for their preseason tour in Asia.

Maurito will ultimately be faced with a choice between last season’s Serie A champions and their closest challengers, and his personal life could prove a decisive factor.

Icardi, Wanda and his children are settled in Milan and would not have to move if he joined Juventus, whereas everyone would need to relocate if he opted for Napoli.

Juventus represent an attractive option to Icardi because he would be excited to play with Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as by the chance of competing to win trophies.

Fabio Paratici has discussed personal terms with Wanda but has yet to make any contact with Inter, confident the striker’s price tag will drop with each day that passes.

Napoli would give Icardi the chance to be coached by Carlo Ancelotti, who is a great admirer of his, but also the opportunity to play for a group of supporters which adores Argentines.

Aurelio De Laurentiis has made it clear he would offer Icardi a higher salary than he has at Inter, despite any potential stumbling blocks relating to image rights, but he would also make Inter a more enticing proposal than Juventus.

Beppe Marotta wants €60-70 million to sell Icardi, bonuses included, but it is difficult to guess what he would do should no such offer arrive.
