Wanda Nara Hits Back at Reports of Mauro Icardi Inter Captaincy Ultimatum

The wife and agent of Mauro Icardi, Wanda Nara has hit back at rumours that claimed her husband could leave Inter if he is not restored as the team's captain.

Amid ongoing and very public tensions over contract negotiations between Icardi and Inter, the Argentine forward was stripped of his captaincy and replaced by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, while he was also left out of the Europa League squad to face Rapid Wien.

Inter have not said much publicly about the incident, only claiming that the decision wasn't a disciplinary measure. However, rumours over the star man's future continue to rage, with Nara crying on TV as she discussed her husband's situation.
