Wanda Nara:"Icardi turned down the Italian national team three times"

After a long wait, Mauro Icardi finally got his selection to Argentina's national team. But the Italian federation had tried multiple times to convince him to play for the Azzurri, a fact revealed by the striker's agent/wife Wanda Nara:"Mauro knew of the selection he had spoken to Sampaoli- she said during the Telefe TV show- it was a great emotion, he was waiting for it for a long time, he turned down the Italian national team 2/3 times. He was certain that sooner or later Argentina would have selected him. It was me and our kids who were really anxious. He got emotional when he got the call because for years he was dreaming of being part of Argentina's national team
