Wanda: 'Icardi rejected China'

By Football Italia staff

Mauro Icardi turned down a huge offer from Chinese clubs, confirmed the Inter striker’s wife Wanda Nara.

It was reported that Fabio Cannavaro’s Tianjin Quanjian made an approach last week.

“I can confirm that many clubs in China want him, but Icardi only recently signed a new contract with Inter and he is absolutely happy,” wife and agent Nara told Calciomercato.com.

“Inter have always done everything to keep hold of Mauro, just as Mauro did everything to stay as the captain of the Nerazzurri.

“I feel that I am a witness to this love affair…”

The new contract includes a release clause worth €110m, valid only for abroad and limited to between June 30 and July 15.
