# Mauro Icardi to reject Chelsea to stay at Inter

Mauro Icardi would reject Chelsea’s advances this Summer, with the Italian looking instead to stay at Inter.

Icardi, a longtime Blues target, would be one of the names being looked at by Maurizio Sarri if Chelsea can overturn their transfer ban.

However, even if this happens, a deal is unlikely due to Icardi wanting to play under former Blues boss Antonio Conte.

[The Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1127706/Chelsea-Transfer-News-Mauro-Icardi-Inter-Milan-Antonio-Conte-Maurizio-Sarri) report that the Argentine forward would be likely to stay at the Nerazzurri*,* with Conte set to take over at the Milanese side at the end of the Serie A season.

Icardi has had a turbulent season in Italy, with the striker being stripped of the captaincy at the club, with him and his agent warring with the club over a new contract.

However, the arrival of Conte could tip the balance and would see Icardi sit down with club officials to get a new deal signed to secure his future in Italy.
