Inter Milan removed Mauro Icardi as the side’s captain earlier this month, and according to reports, Juventus are the reason.

The situation regarding Mauro Icardi is growing complex by the day.

Inter Milan removed the 25-year-old forward from captaincy earlier this month after talks over a new contract with Icardi’s wife and agent Wanda Nara seemingly broke down.

Following the decision, Icardi refused to travel with the club to Austria for Inter’s Europa League game, which drew significant criticism for the player from the club’s fans.

Inter Milan’s manager, Luciano Spalletti also stated that the player was called up for the game.

“Icardi was called up, and has decided not to travel to Vienna,” Spalletti said ahead of the game.

And according to Italian journalist Valeri Di Maggio (via calciomercato), the club stripped Icardi off the captaincy because he has an agreement with Juventus.

I think Inter know Icardi has already an agreement with Juventus,” he said.

“Inter are a big club and Marotta is a top director. Remove his captaincy is a big decision and I insist that, for me, Icardi has already reached an agreement with Juventus.”

If Juventus indeed secures the signing of Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan, it would be a huge statement of intent for the Turin-based side.

Juventus signed Cristiano Ronaldo at the beginning of the season and are at the top of the table, nine points ahead of the second-placed Napoli.

Mauro Icardi is ruled out of the game against Sampdoria due to injury. Earlier, it was reported that he was deliberately kept out to avoid unnecessary tensions. The fan sentiments are fairly against the former club captain at the moment.

It was also reported earlier that Real Madrid had pulled out of their attempts to sign Mauro Icardi because of his agent, Wanda Nara.
