Giuseppe Marotta Says There Is 'No Split' Between Mauro Icardi and Inter Milan

Inter Milan chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has dismissed speculation over a rift between Mauro Icardi and the club.

Since Icardi was stripped of the captaincy, rumours have gathered pace regarding the striker's situation at the San Siro.

This week, he released a statement on social media in which he part praises the club, but he also said "I don't know if there's respect towards Inter and I on the part of those who make decisions," per Football Italia.

Ahead of the team's meeting with Cagliari in Serie A on Friday, Marotta was asked about Icardi and did his utmost to play down reports of tension between the two parties, per Sky Sport Italia (h/t Football Italia):

"These are internal matters, we'll deal with the player himself and I don't feel there's the need to fix anything, seeing as there has been no split.
