Real Madrid have reportedly been put off making a move for Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi because of wife-turned-agent Wanda Nara's negotiating tactics.
The European champions have been perennially linked with the 25-year-old in recent transfer windows and have been tipped to rival Atletico Madrid and Juventus for his signature in the summer.
Spanish outlet Marca reports that Madrid are unlikely to make an offer for the Argentina international, however, as Nara has allegedly shown a combative attitude when discussing personal terms with the striker's current club.
Inter are said to have been left livid by the agent's public criticisms of their transfer policy, which has led to her husband being stripped of the captaincy.
Icardi was high on Real's list of targets in January 2018, it is claimed, but the Spanish giants are pleased that they pulled out of negotiations for the former former Sampdoria ace, who has scored 109 Serie A goals for the Nerazzurri.
