MAURO ICARDI'S wife and agent has revealed she has already received two offers from other clubs amid talk of Manchester United and Real Madrid interest.
Inter Milan striker Icardi is regarded as one of the best goalscorers in European football and has been tracked by several big clubs in the past few years.
Until now he has remained loyal to Inter, but the club's struggle to qualify for the Champions League next season has raised serious doubts over his future in Milan.
Now his wife Wanda Nara, who also represents him as his agent, has admitted she has already been in contact with two clubs looking to buy him this summer.
In an interview with , Nara said: "In the last period, a couple of important teams have revealed that they want Mauro.
"I’m taking care of his future, I have to listen to them, evaluate the offers and the situation.
"Names? No names."
While she is refusing to reveal the identity of the clubs concerned, the timing of her speaking out comes in the wake of renewed speculation United and Real are fighting for his signature.
The 25-year-old Argentina star has been prolific since making the move to the San Siro from Sampdoria in 2013 scoring 89 goals in 147 appearances.

Real are in the market for a new striker, with the future of Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale at the Bernabeu now open to doubt.
The Spanish club know they need to make big changes in their squad after a difficult season, and with Cristiano Ronaldo also approaching the final stages of his career they are looking to boost their attacking options.
United have also been keeping tabs on Icardi for the past 18 months, with Jose Mourinho understood to be open to the idea of taking him to Old Trafford.
There has also been big speculation in Italy that super-agent Mino Raiola is trying to tempt Icardi into signing a management agreement with himself.
Raiola has strong links with Old Trafford having brokered the deals which took Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkihtaryan to the club.
But Wanda Nara issued a warning to Raiola to keep his hands off her husband - and that she is the only one who will be doing business.
She added: "I have been dealing with Mauro’s contracts for over three years and we have already signed two renewals with Inter.

"Mauro is a top player who continues to grow season after season. Many agents see him as a possible client, so they try to approach him.
";But he is calm and will continue with me: his representation will remain in the family.
"I have great respect for Raiola and for many other colleagues who would like to work with Mauro.
"But let me clarify, I am the only one dealing with contracts and the future of Icardi.
"Everything passes by me. It’s been like this for over three years and it will be like that also in the future."
