Mauro Icardi's wife and agent Wanda Nara claims the striker's loan move to Paris Saint-Germain was an "ace up her sleeve".
Icardi secured a season-long switch to PSG from Inter on deadline day following much speculation over his future since he had been stripped of the captaincy at San Siro in January and then excluded from training with the rest of the squad this season.
The striker had been linked with Juventus, Napoli, Monaco and Atletico Madrid but agreed a one-year contract extension that keeps him tied to Inter until 2022, though the club have given PSG a reported €70 million option to buy Icardi at the end of the campaign.
