Legal rep: Napoli trying to sign Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi

Napoli are interested in Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi, admits his legal representative.

Icardi is currently on-loan this season with PSG.

“Aurelio De Laurentiis can have no regrets, because he always tried to sign Icardi," said Elio Letterio Pino, legal consultant for Icardi and Wanda Nara, on Radio Marte.

“For one reason or another, Mauro didn't want to remain in Italy last summer, so the President just had the wrong timing. Some might not like his tactical role within a certain system, but if you're looking for a striker who scores goals, then Mauro always delivers."

He also said: “Obviously, Wanda Nara is his agent and she takes care of his interests. I know Mauro well, he's like a son to me. The idea of joining Napoli has always been one he liked.

“There was a little controversy in the past with Diego Maradona, but he knows the club's history and Napoli is the city of his idol, the idol of all Argentines.

“Perhaps Napoli would've been the ideal club to light him up, so there's absolutely nothing against this club."
