"IT WOULD BE NICE TO RETURN TO INTER"
Speaking to La Repubblica, Icardi stated that he wanted to return to Inter and said, "Returning to Inter would be special. I lived important years, I built a part of myself with that jersey and the captain's armband. The ending was painful and I wish I could have completed this story in a different way. But a return would only be meaningful if there was mutual belief and a goal to be reached together. I still have a lot to give: If I return somewhere, I will do it to be useful and to win." he said.
Referring to the problems he experienced during his Inter period and the removal of his captaincy, the experienced striker made important statements about the knee problem he experienced during that period.
"LOSING THE CAPTAIN'S ARMLET HURTED ME SO MUCH"
"I would change the way I handled some moments, especially the last period. Losing the captain's armband hurt me a lot. During the same period, I had a problem with my knee, I was playing every match with an injection due to severe pain. Questioning this big problem was a difficult thing to accept. Today, I could express myself better and deal with some situations more calmly. Accepting this does not take away anything from what I gave to Inter. It means maturity."
"I WANT TO GIVE THE ANSWER ON THE FIELD"
The Argentinian centre-forward, who has come to the fore with his private life in public, stated that he wanted to give the answer on the field.
"I have often been described as a figure before a football player. Those who work with me know how I train, how I experience the unity within the team, and how much importance I attach to winning. I can't wait to give my answer on the field to those who think I have nothing to give anymore."
Explaining why he did not accept the offers made to him, Mauro Icardi said, "I received offers, but I preferred to wait rather than accept a project that I did not fully believe in. I grew up in Italy, both as a person and as a football player. I would like to return there with a project that will excite me and the opportunity to build something important. There is a connection with the past, but looking to the future." he said.
