Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio says they'll maintain talks with Mauro Icardi away from the spotlight.

Icardi's wife and agent Wanda Nara has declared there were two big clubs interested.

Ausilio said, “We are in constant contact with Icardi's agent, aimed at the common goal of seeing if the future can be shared together and above all it'll be done in silence. The more talk there is, the more decisions get bumped down the road.

“We want to engage in action, not words, and make sure everyone is in the right condition to give their best on the field.

“If you list all the players in the squad, you'll realise we are not that poor. There are many big names here, including several watching from the bench, because this team was constructed with a certain logic to target a Champions League place."
