Ultras: Icardi return 'sweet talk'

By Football Italia staff

Inter’s Curva Nord insists Mauro Icardi was only reinstated to get his market value back up, branding Luciano Spalletti’s comments ‘sweet talk’.

Spalletti went from reigniting Inter’s feud with Icardi to bringing him back for their match against Genoa in the space of two days, and their ultras - who have already demanded the striker to leave - remain unconvinced.

“The Nord’s position stems from frustration over an embarrassing dispute, which was badly managed by the club but where both Icardi and his manager wife only thought about speculating, showing - only out of convenience - attachment to our colours,” read another statement.

“Whoever doesn’t have a bag on their head can’t fail to understand that the imposition of the No 9’s return is dictated by the needs of revaluing his market value and certainly not a real rapprochement of the dressing room to the player.

“It’s sweet talk to portray a public picture of a reconciliation that, in reality, never happened.”
