PSG new-boy Mauro Icardi has been brutally snubbed by new team-mates Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes - over his controversial marriage to Wanda Nara, say reports in France.
L’Equipe recently reported on the alleged tensions at the Ligue 1 champions - describing Icardi's arrival on loan from Inter Milan as "unwelcome".
According to the French outlet, the rift stems from Icardi's marriage to Wanda - who was once married to fellow footballer Maxi Lopez.
Paris Saint-Germain boast a strong Argentine core - including Icardi, Di Maria and Paredes.
But they are divided after Lopez and Icardi, 26, fell out over Wanda.
Lopez and Nara divorced in December 2013 - but just five months later she was re-married to Icardi.
WHAT A MESS-I
Maxi and Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi have a good relationship stemming from Lopez’s time at the Nou Camp - playing together between 2005 and 2007.
This reportedly caused the relationship between Icardi and Messi to deteriorate.
L’Equipe reported that “perhaps out of solidarity, his Argentine international team-mates have adopted the same attitude” towards the on-loan Inter striker.
Icardi is coming off a controversial exit from the Serie A giants after the club released a statement saying he was “not part of the sports projects of the club” anymore.

This led to the striker’s season-long loan to the Parisian team late this summer despite publicly stating his desire to stay at the Italian club.
Earlier in the year, Icardi even went on strike having been stripped of the captaincy at the San Siro.
Icardi has played just twice for PSG so far this season- in wins over Strasbourg and Real Madrid - and has thus far failed to trouble the scorers.
