Director of sport Piero Ausilio confirmed Inter “will make our decision tomorrow” on whether to strip Mauro Icardi of the captaincy.
The striker released his autobiography this week and a chapter has infuriated fans, as it went over an incident where he argued with supporters after a 3-1 defeat to Sassuolo in February 2015.
The ultras of the Curva Nord claim he lied about what happened and were also angry that he confessed he’d ‘call in 100 criminals from Argentina to kill’ any hooligans who threatened him.
Before today’s 2-1 home loss to Cagliari, in which Icardi missed a penalty, Vice-President Javier Zanetti said that the club agreed with the ultras and would take action.
“Zanetti’s thoughts are the thoughts of the whole club,” Ausilio told Mediaset Premium.
“Everyone must focus on what happened in the game with Cagliari, but tomorrow we will talk to Icardi and make our decisions.
“The atmosphere today was very strange and it was not easy to play. In the first half we did well, there was the right approach.
“I heard what Icardi wrote, but I did not buy or read the book itself. The atmosphere did not help and I saw a player today who was not focused.
“The objective is to fix the situation. As far as we are concerned, we have internal rules and if a player violates those rules, he will be punished.
“We will talk to him to understand many things with cool heads.”
