"Real" withdraws from the battle for M. Icardi's signature

"

Spanish media reports that Madrid's "Real" no longer intends to acquire 25-year-old Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi.

Argentinian has been linked to the UEFA Champions League winners this winter. It was claimed that "Real" were ready to buy the forward's contract this summer, which includes a €100 million buyout clause.

However, these plans have been abandoned. The main reason for this - M. Icardi's wife Wanda, who is the player's agent. The "Real" leadership has included the player's representative in the "blacklist".

The Spanish capital team would change their opinion if a third party were to be involved in the negotiations, but this is unlikely.

The same report also states that "Real" also promises not to have any dealings with Mino Raiola clients, including such players as Paul Pogba, Marco Verratti, or Gianluigi Donnarumma.
