Inter Milan’s courageous captain has gone on a turbulent ride.
In stark contrast to AC Milan’s preference for Brazilian players, Inter Milan has found tremendous success with Argentinian athletes. During the famed “Triple Crown” era of the club, Cambiasso, Zanetti and Diego Milito formed a formidable core around which the team operated. Later on Icardi stepped up as their premier forward line star-player who was given captaincy honors and led Serie A in scoring stats.Sadly, for personal reasons, Icardi left Inter Milan at the peak of his career and joined Paris Saint-Germain. From then on, the connection between him and Serie A’s giants faded away completely.
Inter Milan’s courageous captain, Mauro Icardi, has had an incredible journey from his beginnings in the Argentine Primera Division to Serie A. After being scouted by Inter at a young age, Icardi quickly made a name for himself as a promising forward for the club.

During Inter’s historic “Triple Crown” era of success, Icardi was part of a formidable core consisting of Cambiasso, Zanetti and Diego Milito. Despite playing alongside seasoned veterans such as Javier Zanetti and Esteban Cambiasso, Icardi quickly proved his worth as he led the team to victory in several competitions while consistently scoring goals at an impressive rate.
The Argentinian forward eventually took on the role of captain when his teammate Zanetti retired in 2014 and it wasn’t long before he became Inter’s star-player. In 2017, Icardi finished as Serie A’s top scorer with 29 goals and 5 assists. His outstanding performances earned him numerous awards including the coveted Pichichi Trophy as well as multiple nominations for UEFA Club Footballer of the Year Award.

Unfortunately for Inter fans, Icardi left the team after being embroiled in controversy over his personal life. It was rumored that personal issues between himself and teammates had caused tension within the squad which ultimately resulted in his departure to Paris Saint-Germain at the peak of his career.
Icardi’s departure left a big void at Inter Milan that still has yet to be filled despite some notable signings such as Romelu Lukaku and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo recently achieved legendary status at Juventus by winning nine consecutive league titles, fans will never forget their beloved captain who brought them so much success during his time with Inter Milan. To commemorate their memories of the Argentinian forward, many have been seen wearing juventus jerseys with Icardi’s number nine printed on them in respect for their former hero. It’s clear that Inter Milan will always remember the legacy of its courageous captain, Mauro Icardi.
As a reminder of his immense impact on the club, Inter Milan has retired the number 9 jersey in honor of Icardi. This gesture signifies how much he meant to the team and their supporters. Even after all these years, juventus jerseys with his name still remains popular amongst fans who have not forgotten him and are proud of what he achieved during his time at Inter Milan.
While it may not have been the ending most had hoped for when Icardi first joined Inter, there is no denying that he left an indelible mark on both the club and the Serie A. The juventus jersey with Icardi’s number nine will forever remain a reminder of the courage, skill, determination and passion that Icardi brought to the team during his time as Inter Milan’s captain.
