Mauro Icardi's wife and agent Wanda revealed that this summer two "Serie A" clubs - Turin's "Juventus" and "Napoli" - were interested in the player's services.
Until July, clubs not competing in the "Serie A" championship could acquire M. Icardi for a redemption fee of 110 million euros, but no one was willing to pay such a sum, and the Argentine himself has already signed a new contract with his current club.
"The only contact Mauro had with 'Juventus' was seven goals scored against them," - Wanda pointedly stated.
However, later the woman explained that "Juventus" did speak to her, but the final word always belonged to the striker: "It is natural that you will receive offers for a player like Mauro, but he himself was not inclined to change."
"Juventus" was interested in him, but due to the Champions League, their first choice was Cristiano.
"I am just doing my job - clubs call me, I answer them. However, the decisive word belongs only to Mauro himself. I had met with Aurelio De Laurentiis, but we talked about everything - from movies to football.
I think "Napoli" presented their offer to the "Inter" club, but Mauro made his decision," Wanda added.
