Inter, Real Madrid monitoring Icardi; Marotta can no longer waste time

Inter, Real Madrid monitoring Icardi; Marotta can no longer waste time

Inter and Icardi are yet to reach an agreement on the renewal, which has sparked rumours about a potential departure for the Argentinian. 
 
In addition to this, the circumstances are very different compared to the last time he renewed with Inter. Back then, Icardi's wife and agent, Wanda Nara, settled for €4.5m per year as Inter didn't want to let go of their striker, matching the contract offer of Napoli, who were very interested in the player. 
 
As has been revealed in the past, Real Madrid are currently interested in Icardi. However, they are currently laying low, waiting for the summer to come around, Should there be no renewal agreement by then, Real could decide to make a move, paying the release clause. Marotta knows that this is a possibility, while they would need to offer Icardi around €8m per year in order to keep him.
