ROMANO EXCLUSIVE: Juve really wanted Icardi
Of course, the 23-year-old was a target for Juve before they signed Higuain, however the Lombard club didn’t even answer to the bianconeri, as the Suning group had no intention to reinforce a competitor.
The player’s wife and agent Wanda Nara was right when she said that the former Sampdoria man deserved a better contract: both the Piedmont’s club and Napoli were aware of such situation, and they were ready to swoop for him. But, finally, the Argentine stayed, and Inter will soon extend his contract until June 2021, with a €110m clause valid only abroad.
