Mauro Icardi

“I'm not interested in rumours; what counts is winning with Inter.”

“I had the dream of playing in the Champions League in the Inter shirt, and therefore, I couldn't leave.”

“I'm very grateful to Italian football for the opportunity it has given me.”

“People talk about how many goals I score, how I play, how I move on the field. In Argentina, on the other hand, they're always digging for dirt, and they continue to talk about me as the husband of Wanda Nara, that guy who stole the woman and ruined the life of a former teammate, when it was never actually like that.”

“I'm a striker, and I can only score if the ball gets to me.”

“I knew about Inter's history, and it's beautiful to be part of such a glorious and well organised club.”

“It is very important for me to be able to play and develop with players like Messi, Dybala, Di Maria, and Banega.”

“I'm not going to be a coach or a director - they are not roles that I would like.”

“At the Barcelona youth academy, I lived right next to Camp Nou, but I spent my days watching movies.”

“I can see myself winning a few Scudettos and at least one Champions League.”

“Football is a sport I have fun with, but I play it, and that's all. I never watch games and know nothing about what's going on in the sport.”

“Each coach you have gives a little something to every player, but the one who changed my game the most was Mancini. He taught me to play more outside the area, dropping me back a bit.”

“When I decided to come to Inter, I did so because I am an Inter fan and because I wanted to win a lot with this shirt.”

“At the end, what matters is that the team wins, not only my goals.”

“Scoring in the Derby d'Italia is always important and a source of great satisfaction.”

“I have great technique, a good shot, and I'm pretty good in the air.”

“If I receive a phone call from Real Madrid, I won't answer.”

“The unhappy people are those who listen to others. I never listened to anyone, and I'm very happy.”

“My family is very much at home here in Milan.”

“If you are the coach of a national team, you have to evaluate players based on what they do on the pitch.”
