Inter doesn't want Icardi because of his antics besides the field obviously. Conte has little to do with that. They've been saying he needs to go for a few months now. Even Marotta made that very clear yesterday. Nainggolan who gave Conte his morning wood for 5 years is the same story...
I can't fully grasp why we're after such a dick either. Hopefully Napoli snap him up, he'd fit in perfectly. 'though it would make them a much stronger team instantly.
I dont know I mean Mertens and Milik offer more in terms of team game but Icardi will definitely be more dangerous..
Thinking about this season and long term I am absoltely not worried about Napoli although Inter has the resources and now finally the brain too (Marotta and Conte).. I definitely see them being our rival in the next few years and by saying that I dont mean just about the next 2nd place finish team - I mean if we have a bad season or a serious injury we can lose the scudetto (although I expect us to regain it in the season after the one we lose it..).
We remain the ultimate favorite but when you reach a certain level anything can happen..
I do see a very bright future in terms of the next European League that Agnelli is planning..
If it does happens - I see us and City as the ultimate favorites as its not just about being strong at the right time but its about stability and when talking about this we are the masters...
City with Pep became very dominant though and could trouble us..
Barca are amazing in duels but I see them having troubles with the stability thing as they are stable but not Juve kind of stable..
Real are more about capturing the moment in recent years so I dont expect them to take it as well
As for CL - Barcelona and Real (assuming they will get all the players/alternatives they are rumored with) are the favorite with us being the surprise package as no one really know how we will play under Sarri.. We could be amazing, we could be ok and we could really suck compared to recent years...
