Inter have announced Mauro Icardi has put pen to paper on a new five-year deal keeping him at the club until 2021.
Icardi, 23, was heavily linked with a move away from the club in the summer with Arsenal and Napoli reportedly among the clubs that were chasing his signature.
The Argentine striker was made Inter captain by former head coach Roberto Mancini at the start of last season and has now committed his long-term future to the Serie A giants.
“I’m really happy to have signed a new contract because it’s what I wanted,” Icardi told Inter’s official website. “I wanted to stay at Inter and we came to an agreement with the club. I’ve never been worried about it. I’ve always got along with everyone around me.”
“It won’t be easy but I hope to lift lots of trophies with Inter. I’d also like to say a special thank you to my family and my wife.”
Icardi has directly contributed to eight of Inter’s nine league goals this season (six goals, two assists).
