According to Inter's sporting director Piero Ausilio, the club from the "fashion capital" Milan does not intend to sell Mauro Icardi and wants to build a team around him.
The Argentine striker has been linked with a move almost the entire summer, with Napoli considered the favorite to sign him, especially as they are expected to part ways with Gonzalo Higuain.
Furthermore, the rumors intensified when Icardi did not appear in the friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain. It should be noted that London's Arsenal is also interested in him.
"Icardi will stay at Inter, our position is completely clear," Ausilio told Fcinternews.it. "It's not about money, we don't care about what Napoli can offer."
"Our plan this summer is to strengthen Inter, so in order to do that, we need to keep Icardi and our other best players regardless of the offers. There is no buyout clause in Icardi's contract, and we don't want to sell him - it's simple."
"There are no problems between us and Icardi, he works very hard. He has been with us for over a year now and has become the captain of a team with a glorious past. We have always taken his needs into consideration and renewed his contract at the right time."
"The fact that we have already acquired three international-class players is often forgotten by many. We will acquire even more of them."
This summer, Inter's acquisitions included Caner Erkin, Ever Banega, and Cristian Ansaldi.
