Mauro Icardi Reportedly Pushed Toward Real Madrid by Inter Dressing Room Divide

A split in the Inter Milan dressing room is reportedly pushing club captain Mauro Icardi toward alleged suitors Real Madrid, while a spat with wife and agent Wanda Nara is also said to have exacerbated his situation in Italy.

Italian website Calciomercato.com cited a report from newspaper Il Corriere della Serathat said Icardi had a "severe confrontation" with team-mate Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic following the 1-1 draw at SPAL on Sunday.

This was followed by a post from Icardi on his official Instagram account, which BBC Sport translated as a possible suggestion from the striker that he's ready to move on from the San Siro:

Perisic is also said to have "unfriended" Icardi on Facebook, while Brozovic is no longer following the Argentinian on Instagram.
