Maxi Lopez reportedly approached by Mafia who offered to end Mauro Icardi’s football career after bitter Wanda Nara affair
Argentinians completely fell out after Inter Milan striker stole former team-mates wife, but Lopez turned down offer
MAXI LOPEZ was approached by members of the Mafia, who offered to “end Mauro Icardi’s football career” after he had an affair with his compatriot’s then-wife, according to reports in their native Argentina.
Icardi, who is nine years Lopez’s junior, was initially a fan while he was a youth-team player and Lopez was a striker — and then a team-mate of the more senior Argentine at Sampdoria.
But, their relationship hit the ultimate low when the current Inter captain began an affair with his ex-pal’s wife, Wanda Nara, before eventually ‘stealing’ her off him — and marrying her.

He claims two cars pulled up alongside the striker’s vehicle and offered to “finish him” or “end his football career” — they even asked if he wanted them to “break his legs.”
However, Lopez is reported to have declined the offer.
Nara — who is Icardi’s agent as well as his wife — took to Twitter to vehemently deny the claims.
Lopez, who is now at Torino, refuses to shake hands with Icardi in the pre-match rituals during their Serie A meetings.
He is involved in a bitter legal battle with his ex-wife over custody of their two children.
