“Higuain’s clause? He is worth €90m after 36 goals in Serie A”, Icardi said at a Press conference ahead of Thursday’s Europa League curtain-raiser against Hapoel Be’er Sheva.

Despite a poor start to his tenure at San Siro, Inter boss Frank de Boer has the full backing of club president Erick Thohir.

“It’s only natural to look forward to the Juventus game, but we’re professionals and we need to focus on this one”.

“Before their goal, we had control”, he told Sky Italia.

“As happened in Pescara, we lost our heads a little and granted them several opportunities”. These are silly rumours, this is the only thing I can say and we don’t need to comment further. “We should continue working and not lose control like that”. “We must know that there has to be organisation and I do not understand why there was a change”.

“Not only was the result very poor, the players’ performance level was not as high as what we were expecting and what they are capable of”.
