I see Conte's in Inter already and is demanding the sale of Icardi who's literally begged to Conte twice already to let him stay. It seems the board will back Conte's decision. Now Icardi is a top class finisher but Conte feels he's detrimental to what he wants to achieve at Inter, a lot of the times he proves to be a bit of a distraction. Whether that's through his private life, fighting with ultras or rowing with the Inter board over contracts.
Of course it'll be a lot easier to get rid of Icardi because he's not on 350k a week, but it just goes to show there's a lot of managers out there who're willing to get rid of a top player, in this case the man who's been Inter's talisman, captain and top scorer for the last number of seasons.
Then you go down the other route with United and you see what happens when they back the player (Pogba) over the manager, United ended last season far worse than they ever did at any time under Mourinho.
And that's with two players in the prime of their careers, not even talking about someone well past his best years.
I'd be wanting to get rid of Icardi too if I were faced with putting up with crap from him and Wanda, his wife/manager.
