?Mauro Icardi’s representatives have rubbished the stories of the forward having a medical with Real Madrid, as has been reported by Spanish source Diario Goal.
The publication made sensational reports of the Argentinian meeting with Madrid’s medical staff for a secret medical in Milan this week, and of course several other news outlets picked it up and ran with it.
Sources from the player’s camp, however, have staunchly denied the rumours of the Inter man undergoing any such procedure.
As ?Football Italia report, there is a €110m release clause in the player’s contract, but it only comes into play in the summer, so he would cost more if he were to leave the San Siro in January.
The forward’s entourage have even gone as far as referring to Gol as ‘fake news’ as a result of their unfounded claim.

“I won’t rule out that, without any appointments set right now because he has a very long contract, we could in future sit down and talk about something different.”
