Barcelona star Lionel Messi is blocking an Argentina call for Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi, it is claimed.
Argentina's Debate Final show says it is Messi who has blocked Icardi's call-up to Argentina.
This is because Messi is still close to his former Barcelona teammate Maxi Lopez.
Icardi is now married to Wanda Nara, who went through an ugly divorce with Maxi.
Icardi has now to all intents and purposes adopted Lopez's three children with Nara, adding a baby daughter Francesca.
