Spalletti: Inter captain Icardi needs higher release clause

By published

Luciano Spalletti is determined to offer fresh terms to star Inter forward Mauro Icardi.

Inter head coach Luciano Spalletti wants a higher release clause for captain and talisman Mauro Icardi in an effort to fend off potential suitors.

Argentina international Icardi signed a new contract until 2021 in October, with a buyout clause worth around €110million reportedly included.

"Icardi should be given the highest clause possible," Spalletti told Premium Sport.

"He's at the level of Isco [whose new Real Madrid contract has a €700m release clause] and all the top players."
