AC Milan playmaker Giacomo Bonaventura has delivered his verdict on the Mauro Icardi saga by saying he would not write a book until he has won some silverware.
While Milan are flying high under Vincenzo Montella, city rivals Inter have been involved in an unwanted controversy surrounding their captain's autobiography while they struggle for results under Frank de Boer.
Icardi infuriated Inter's Curva Nord ultras after claiming in his book that he made himself a "hero" among his team-mates by standing up to one of the group's leaders after a 3-1 defeat to Sassuolo in 2014-15.
Curva Nord declared Icardi to be "finished" as an Inter player and the striker was confronted by banners criticising him during the Cagliari match, where his missed penalty was cheered by sections of the home support.
He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "If I wrote an autobiography it would be really boring!
"I don't have many stories to tell. I will win something first and then we can talk."
A win would put Montella's men just two points off the pace at the top of the table and playmaker Bonaventura is in optimistic mood.
He added: "Juve are at a higher level, but the gap with the rest has decreased. We have not been far off the level of top teams so far.
"It is not at all [impossible]. We can win because it is a one-off game - we are at home and they will force us to give 100 per cent.
"My regret is having arrived at Milan when we are not in Europe, but this is the right year to return."
