Mauro Icardi has suggested he could leave Inter at the end of the season if the right offer comes in for his services.
The prolific attacker has been linked with clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent weeks, but had been adamant that he is happy to stay at San Siro.
However, the 23-year-old has now hinted a transfer could be an option after all.
Will I stay at Inter if we don t qualify for the Champions League? I m here to win with this club, but if any offers come in, then we have got to talk about them with the club or with whoever deals with it, Icardi told Mediaset.
The striker, who joined Inter from Sampdoria in July 2013, has a contract until June 2019.
He has scored 15 goals in 30 Serie A appearances this campaign…
Diego Simeone felt he watched close to the best version of his Atletico Madrid side after they claimed a 1-0 advantage against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final first leg.
Atletico tore into their Bundesliga opponents from kick-off amid a cacophony of noise at the Vicente Calderon that ramped up a few more notches when Saul Niguez netted a sensational 11th-minute solo goal.
Simeone s men were at ease showing their famously dogged defensive qualities after the break, although Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres sprung forward on the break for the latter to hit the post 15 minutes from time.
Atletico reached the 2013-14 final, losing to rivals Real Madrid in the season they won La Liga.
A repeat could be on the cards as they lie level on p…
Euro 2020 is really starting to get into a whole other gear with the first round of group stage games almost coming to an end. Many nations have already been able to puff out their chest and show us what they re made of, and during the 2pm kickoff yesterday, Scotland and Czech Republic joined those ranks with an intriguing clash at Hampden Park.
The Czechs were the ones who managed to secure all three points, but there s a whole lot more to the story than that.
Unfortunate Scots
Andy Robertson s well-saved effort, hitting the bar and a parade of other chances represented just how unlucky Scotland were in this game. Sure, their finishing should ve been a whole lot better than it was, but it s difficult not to feel for them just a little bit given how good they looked du…
Market: Leeds win
Odds: 1/2 @
Turning their attentions to EFL Cup duties after their stunning Premier League return over the weekend, Leeds will welcome Hull to an empty Elland Road on Wednesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Leeds would have been left heartbroken to have left Anfield with nothing to show on Saturday evening, the Whites really laid down a Premier League marker. Gaining a string of admirers despite leaving the defending champions on the wrong end of a last-gasp 4-3 defeat on their travels, Marcelo Bielsa s side find the mood in their camp at a real high and will be glad to make a return to home soil in midweek. Romping towards the Championship title earlier in the summer after what was a glittering end to the 2019/2020 campaign, the former…
Market: Nagoya win
Odds: 6/5 @
Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the J1 League standings, Nagoya will travel to a struggling Tokyo on Saturday morning.
Starting with the hosts, while Tokyo might have claimed a much-needed 3-1 victory at home against Fukushima on June 7th, interim boss Takayoshi Amma certainly saw his side come crashing back down to earth last time out. Heading into the international break with a 3-1 loss at the hands of G-Osaka, the Gas have now lost three of their last four J1 League appearances. Coming under plenty of scrutiny this season and facing a real uphill battle in their bid to claim a top-half finish, Tokyo have also recorded just a single win from their last six domestic appearances a run that stems ba…
There was a handy demonstration of the depth of quality Italy have on their bench early in the first half at the Stadio Olimpico.
Wales defender Ethan Ampadu – in what would prove not to be his worst contribution to a 1-0 defeat – booted a pass out of play near the halfway line. As it bounced past Roberto Mancini, the Azzurri coach flicked an expensively leathered heel behind him to bring the ball under control.
The crowd roared, in the palm of Mancini s hand and the lap of a feelgood factor engendered by the standout team of the group stage. It was a reminder of the velvet touch that defined Mancini s playing days at Sampdoria and Lazio and there is plenty of that sort of thing to go around in his squad.
Nicolo Barella starred in the back-to-back 3-0 wins o…
