The Argentinian has never forgotten the Nerazzurri and Marotta does not close the door on him.
“Some loves don’t end, they circle around a lot and then come back.” A perhaps banal but very appropriate quote, because after his travels from Paris to Istanbul, Mauro Icardi would like to restore his relationship with Inter, the team he captained and for which he played for six years.
Let’s be clear: at the moment there is nothing concrete and negotiations remain very difficult, but it seems that there are some pieces on the table to complete the nostalgic Nerazzurri puzzle.
As Venditti sang: the footballer has never forgotten the affection of the Nerazzurri people. It is no coincidence that just a few days ago ‘Tuttosport’ spoke of his alleged desire to return to Italy with Inter.

Icardi’s numbers at Galatasaray
In Istanbul, Icardi seems to have rediscovered himself: with Galatasaray he scored 35 goals and 10 assists in a total of 40 appearances.
This year Maurito started as he ended: he has 12 goals and 2 assists in 14 games played. Translated: he participates in a goal in every match, as happened in the Champions League at Old Trafford against Manchester United.
Background on the transfer market
As the detailed Tuttosport report revealed a few days ago, in the last transfer market Icardi received numerous offers from the best Italian clubs to play in Serie A again. In Italy only Inter. Hence the request to his agents to align their interests with the Nerazzurri club, which, however, opted for other options with Thuram, Sánchez and Arnautovic to support Lautaro.
Marota’s words
Marotta, Inter’s sporting director, made an interesting statement: “Icardi or Lukaku? As it was, Icardi was better.”
We remember that Icardi left Inter for PSG in 2019 for 50 million euros after an uphill season: the complicated extension, the strong statements of his wife and agent Wanda Nara and ultimately the loss of the captain with Handanovic.
Can he come back in January?
However, Marotta’s words sound clear: unlike Lukaku, the doors would not be closed to Icardi. Hypotheses, currently far removed from the reality of facts.
Facts that show how Inter’s attack in Serie A has scored 21 goals in 8 games so far: reinforcements do not seem necessary, in short, although the signatures of Sánchez and the fragile Arnautovic are still missing: a fifth striker could be very useful and it It is no coincidence that ‘La Gazzetta’ is already talking about a strong interest in Taremi del Porto.
In any case, any form of discussion is still premature. In the meantime, Icardi waits with interest: in the current Inter, the most competitive since Mourinho, he would be more than willing to return.
