Former Inter Milan boss Luigi Simoni has acknowledged that he has never witnessed a situation similar to that of Mauro Icardi during his lifetime. The Argentina international has supposedly refused to return to the first-team since being stripped from the captaincy last month and this has created plenty of doubts whether he has a future with the club.
Inter Milan manager Luciano Spalletti has said that he was please to watch Mauro Icardi in the stands during the team’s 2-1 triumph over Sampdoria in the Serie A. The Nerazzurri recently stripped the striker from the captaincy amid the tension between him and the club’s hierarchy and he has since missed back-to-back matches, although the latter has been attributed to a minor knee problem sustained during the week.
Portuguese defender Cedric Soares has said that he did not think twice after the interest from Inter Milan was made evident through his representative. The right-sided defender had fallen out-of-favour after Ralph Hasenhuttl took charge of the club in December and this eventually paved the way for him to join the Nerazzurri on loan for the campaign.
Reputed Italian journalist Daniele Adani has indicated that Diego Godin could be a quality signing for Inter Milan, should they manage to lure him from Atletico Madrid at the end of the season. The Uruguay international has just six months remaining on his existing deal with the Spanish club and indications are that he may pursue a Bosman move in the summer with a contract renewal far from happening.
Inter Milan CEO Beppe Marotta has indicated that the club have no plans of parting ways with Radja Nainggolan in the near future despite the recent controversy running through different media platforms. The Belgium international was recently recorded in an audio file where he had expressed the desire to return to AS Roma and this has spread the speculation that the club could sanction his sale in the near future.
Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi has expressed his pleasure after scoring his maiden goal for Argentina during the 2-0 friendly win over Mexico. The 25-year-old has had to wait for a long time to become a regular with the national side and he finally opened his account with them after scoring within two minutes of the encounter against El Tri.
Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar has said that the 4-1 Serie A defeat to Atalanta was a slap in the face for Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri had recently jumped to the second position after bagging seven victories on the bounce but that streak came to an end over the weekend where they were thoroughly beaten on the road to Atalanta.
In 2017, Jadon Sancho was thinking of leaving Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund in the search of first-team football.
And just a year after taking the decision, he has been named in the senior England squad, proving that it was right for him to make the move – Sancho, at the age of 17, made the courageous decision to leave Premier League title favorites Manchester City – and Pep Guardiola – for something completely different.

Luciano Spalletti has warned his Inter Milan players about potential complacency when they take on SPAL this weekend. After an inconsistent start to the campaign, Inter Milan are starting to go on a winning run that has seen them signify consecutive wins since the last international break. Inter are now going for a sixth consecutive win in all competitions when they travel to the Stadio Paolo Mazza this weekend. A crucial element that would help Inter Milan in this game would be the form of players like Icardi, who had a difficult start to the season but is now back in the goals.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Erik Lamela has spoken in the defence of teammate Harry Kane after he went without a goal for the third game on the bounce. The England international broke his bizarre goalscoring duck in August by finding the scoresheet against Fulham and Manchester United but he has since been disappointing amid concerns regarding his fitness.
