Wanda Nara insists there was a strategy behind Mauro Icardi’s last-minute move from Inter to PSG. “If I waited until the last moment, it’s because I had an ace up my sleeve.”

The forward maintained all summer that he loved Inter and did not want to leave, rejecting transfers to Napoli, Roma, Monaco and more.

He even took legal action against the club, demanding €1.5m in compensation and immediate reintroduction to complete training sessions.

Wanda Nara and Mauro Icardi’s strategy with Inter was “a total failure,” said her TV co-worker Pierluigi Pardo. “Joining PSG as a fourth-choice striker is hardly a victory.”

The forward finally made his loan with option to buy move to Paris Saint-Germain in the final hours of deadline day and consequently dropped the legal action against Inter.

He had tried to sue them for €1.5m in damages, demanding to be let back into full training, as he was being “discriminated” against.

Marco Verratti claims games must be stopped for racism, Italy dropping Moise Kean and Nicolo Zaniolo was ‘right’ and that ‘I’m not at PSG for the money.’

Kean and Zaniolo were left out of the latest Italy squad for their show of lateness with the Under-21s, and Verratti hopes their absence will serve as a lesson.

“I think leaving out Kean and Zaniolo was the right decision, with social media now for young players...” the midfielder told Rai Sport.

Mauro Icardi said ‘thanks for everything’ after leaving Inter for Paris Saint-Germain, while posting his goalscoring statistics in an apparent parting shot.

The summer-long transfer saga involving Icardi ended last night as he joined PSG on a season-long with a reported €70m option to buy.

The striker took to his Instagram Story to write ‘thanks for everything’, without making clear the message was directed at Inter.

Mauro Icardi says his move to Paris Saint-Germain from Inter is ‘a big step forward in my career’.

Icardi finally left Inter on deadline day, joining PSG on loan with a reported €70m option to buy, and the striker is ready to make up for lost time in the French capital.

“I’m very happy. It’s a great challenge to play for a club like PSG,” he told his new club’s TV channel.

“This is a big step forward in my career and I hope to experience great things here. Playing with great players is a challenge.

Mauro Icardi has formally completed his loan move to Paris Saint-Germain, with option to buy from Inter for a reported €70m. "I thank PSG for the confidence shown in me."

The exact financial details are not announced, but it is a loan with option to buy at the end of the season.

“FC Internazionale Milano announces that Mauro Icardi has joined Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine forward has signed for the French club on an initial year-long loan with the option to make the deal permanent at the end of this period.

There are reports Mauro Icardi has completed his move to Paris Saint-Germain on loan with option to buy, having first extended his Inter contract.

The new deal to 2022 with the Nerazzurri was an essential step, as it was due to expire in June 2021 and that would’ve left them at risk of losing him as a free agent.

After that was worked out in an overnight summit, he flew out with Wanda Nara in a private jet from Milan to Paris.

Inter striker Mauro Icardi has boarded a flight to Paris as he prepares to join PSG on loan with possible option to buy.

Icardi was spotted at Milan Malpensa on Friday morning with agent-wife Wanda Nara, getting on a private jet.

Their destination is the French capital as Paris Saint-Germain are expecting the 26-year-old for a medical later.

RMC Sport suggest this deal does not include an option to buy at the end of the season, so it is a dry loan only.

Multiple reports state that Inter striker Mauro Icardi has agreed a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain and will fly out for a medical, but is there an option to buy?

Before making this switch, he first had to work out a contract extension with Inter to June 2022, giving them some protection from the risk of losing him as a free agent in 2021.
