Wanda Nara

Wanda Nara, the wife and agent of Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi, believes Ivan Perisic submitted a transfer request to join Arsenal over ‘personal issues’.

Mauro Icardi’s agent/wife, Wanda Nara, has apparently revealed that Arsenal (and Spurs) were interested in the Inter Milan striker over the summer, along with just about every other club in Europe.

Colour us shocked, but Mauro Icardi has signed a new five-year deal with Inter Milan after we said all along that his wife and agent, Wanda Nara, was simply using Arsenal (and Napoli) to get him a new deal with the club.

Mauro Icardi and his agent are reportedly due in London for talks with Arsenal and Chelsea for about the 50th time this summer.

Napoli have offered €70m for Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi according to reports that appeared in Italy on Thursday, while raising the wages offered to the player from €6.5m to €6.8m a year until 2021.

Mauro Icardi will not be leaving Inter Milan after new manager, Frank de Boer, said he will be staying at the club.

Mauro Icardi’s wife and agent, Wanda Nara, looks set to send the rumour mill into overdrive as she arrives in London for a week.

Inter Milan have confirmed that they have received offers for their captain this summer but that they have no intention of letting Mauro Icardi leave.

On Wednesday things went a little crazy as it seemed Mauro Icardi’s wife and agent was in London to discuss a move to Arsenal, but was she?

Reports broke on Sunday that Arsenal had made contact with Mauro Icardi’s ‘entourage’ in order to set up a meeting this week and they were given the go-ahead.
