"Milan's "Inter" attacking leader Mauro Icardi hinted that Madrid's "Real" attempts to buy him may not be justified. "Nerazzurri" captain is demonstrating impressive form this season and has scored 15 goals in 14 "Serie A" matches. It is precisely the excellent game of the 24-year-old Argentine that prompted talks about the interest from the "royal" club, where neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Karim Benzema are doing well. Asked by "Sky Sport Italia" if he would answer Real's calls, Icardi replied: "I would not answer. I do what I have to do on the field, and others take care of such matters." Meanwhile, when asked if the €100 million buyout clause in his contract could be activated this winter, the Inter captain responded similarly: "I do not talk about such things, you know what I think. It is November now, and they are already talking about the market." While Icardi himself did not clearly state that he will definitely stay in the "fashion capital", his coach Luciano Spalletti gives the impression after speaking with "Rai Sport" after last night's victory over "Cagliari". "I work with him every day and I get the impression that he enjoys being with his team and his teammates," said the strategist. "He lives very well in Milan, the fans love him, so I have no doubts that he will stay here. He wants to sign a new contract with Inter and stay with us." "If someone asked him how long he wants to stay here, he would answer them until the end of his career."
