But didn't Paratici only say we only politely inquired about Icardi before we got Ronaldo and that was when Marotta was still here?
No, Paratici kept saying Icardi is not an option now in February, but might be different in June. He was indicating interest and possible deal if he felt like it.
This turning into pissing contest in terms of slight digs is not surprising. Paratici is pretty direct communicator, he doesnt speak in code like Marotta did with us lol. He is OPENLY talking about other clubs players, not just Icardi (I'm fine with it, Paratici seems the type to big up Juve as desirable destination).
Marotta has to mark his territory even if he has little to work with, it's not good negotiating position for him in summer if he lets it slide that his player is mentioned like foregone conclusion he is leaving in summer. Even if he is lol, he has to say otherwise. Hence shooting back with the childish Dybala dig lol.
