Corriere della Sera report that Sabatini had planned on selling Inter skipper and highest scorer Mauro Icardi.

The Argentine currently has a 110 million euros release clause in his contract, amidst interest from Rea Madrid and reports have long linked him with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu. It is believed that Sabatini had made the decision of offloading Icardi, if the nerazzurri were offered a fee in the region of 100 million euros.
