The wife of Captain Inter Mauro Ikardi Vanda Nara said that her husband could play for the Italian national team.

"The Italian team tried to call him Mauro. He received an offer to speak for Italy 2 or 3 times, but he always refused, "Nara told Telefe.

"He has always wanted to play only for Argentina. He was very touched when the new head coach Jorge Sampaoli called him because he dreamed of being part of Argentina's national team ".

Also, Vanda Nara talked about Ikardi's relationship with her ex-husband striker Maxi Lopez, who this summer moved to Udinese.

"Maxi Lopez?" We parted not because of Mauro, but because he was cheating on me, and I was tired of it. The fact that Mauro and Maxi were best friends is not true.. They were just teammates. In general, the whole story, in fact, was noisier outside than inside the ".

Note that in the last match of the national team of Argentina against Uruguay, Mauro Ikardi entered the field in the first team.
