Inter captain Mauro Ikardi approached the signing of a new contract with the club. From the early beginning the Argentine wanted to raise the salary up to 8 million euro per season, while the club is willing to pay him no more than 6.3 million. As a result the forward accepted the Inter offer because of the financail fair-play.

It is expected that the signing will take a place after the Sunday derby with Milan. The current contract with Inter is lasted until 2021.
