Mauro Icardi was in the stands for Inter’s match against Sampdoria, the latest development in the ongoing situation since Handanovic replaced him as the team’s captain. The striker’s wife and agent Wanda Nara explained the decision to attend the match:”We never had any doubts about going to the stadium. I’m always there as the wife of the captain and the mother of an Inter fan- she said on the Tiki Taka TV show- Mauro asked me to accompany him, his father was also there after arriving from Argentina for his birthday

I’m always in contact with Marotta and Ausili, I had a meeting with other people from the club, but they didn’t say anything to Mauro or I”
Wanda then gave an update on the negotiation for an extension:”For us the contract isn’t a priority, we’ll talk about it calmly amongst ourselves. If this is a problem for Inter...”.
