Mauro Icardi has described reports that his career is in the balance at Paris Saint-Germain as “a load of c***” in an angry social media post.
Icardi has become a peripheral figure at PSG, with the star-studded front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe frequently keeping him on the bench. The 29-year-old striker started just 10 Ligue 1 games last season and managed just five goals in 30 appearances in all competitions.
His situation in the French capital led Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport to claim that Icardi's career was ‘hanging in the balance’ ahead of the summer transfer window opening. That prompted a furious reaction from Icardi, who posted a screenshot of the article on his Instagram story alongside a lengthy caption.
