Inter 'won't rule out' new Icardi contract as Madrid circle

Inter could offer Mauro Icardi a new contract to fend off reported interest from Real Madrid, according to sporting director Piero Ausilio.

Club captain Icardi signed a five-year contract at San Siro in October 2016 but continues to be linked with a move to Madrid due to his prolific form in Serie A.

It has been claimed in the Spanish media that the European and La Liga champions will trigger a release clause in the 24-year-old's contract — reportedly set at €110 million — in the off-season.

While Ausilio acknowledged Inter could be forced to accept a bid, he is confident Icardi wants to remain at the Serie A giants and suggested fresh terms could be offered.
