Mauro Icardi is a goal-scoring machine, topping Serie A’s goal-scoring list on multiple occasions, so it was quite confusing to find out he’d be watching the Argentina National team chase glory from the comforts of his couch.
There are many theories floating around to lend an explanation to the logic applied with leaving such a dynamic player off the squad. One theory, from the rumor mill, involves a beautiful woman, an ex- and his best friend who just so happens to be friends with living legend Lionel Messi.
According to reports the current wife of Mauro Icardi, Wanda Mara is the ex-wife of Maxi Lopez, who plays alongside Lionel Messi.
So here’s where things get messy, reports claim Lionel Messi may have pulled a Michael Jordan on Isaiah Thomas by vetoing Mauro Icardi’s spot on the Argentina National team as retaliation for his friend. The saltiness seems to stem from Maxi Lopez of the belief that the relationship between Mauro Icardi and his ex-wife started when the two were still married.
