Mauro Icardi will stay at Inter Milan, says Frank De Boer

De Boer insisted that he would take some time to get to know his current playing staff and decide whether or not he needs any additions, although he temporarily closed the door to any sales, including striker Mauro Icardi.

New Inter Milan coach Frank de Boer said that he wants to bring the club back to “where they should be” as he aims to lead them into the Champions League next season.

“I want everybody to stay right now and then in a few weeks we will see if we need anything else”.

“Mauro is young, can still learn and we will work very well together”.

Arsenal, Napoli, and Chelsea are all interested in signing the £50 million-rated forward this summer with his agent also confirming that the future might not be in Milan.

The problem for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger now is that the talent pool of available world-class forwards is drying up by the day.

The Argentinean worldwide has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League with the Daily Star reporting that both Arsenal and Tottenham have been showing a keen interest in signing the £50m-rated hitman this summer. The Brazilian-born Spanish global is reportedly ready to leave the club and get back to Atletico Madrid but Diego Simeone’s team have already invested in Kevin Gameiro and are unlikely to sign the striker.

Napoli are also in the hunt as they look to replace Gonzalo Higuain, so a three-way battle for the player’s signature could be on the cards before the transfer window closes.

The message came with two emoticons, one representing a bow-and-arrow, and another, more suggestive one representing a “waving hand” that might be bidding farewell.

De Boer met with Inter officials on Monday and held a press conference on Tuesday
