WHAT HAPPENED?
Galatasaray striker Icardi is back in his homeland for surgery on the knee ligament injury that he recently suffered in a Europa League clash with Tottenham, with that problem set to end his season. He is said to have initially moved into a Buenos Aires-based apartment that Nara uses when in Argentina.
THE GOSSIP
Icardi then transferred to a gated residence in Nordelta which is owned by Nara – who is now dating Argentine singer Elian Valenzuela, better known by his artist name L-Gante. The footballer is said to have been given a deadline of November 25 by which to move out of that property, with his refusal to do so – alongside supposed taunts on social media – leading to an argument that escalated to the point that local police were called.
WHAT WANDA NARA SAID
Ex-Inter and Paris Saint-Germain forward Icardi has reportedly been served with a restraining order, forcing him to stay away from Nara, with the Daily Mail quoting the model, television presenter and agent as saying: “I lent him my house from the heart as I would do with anyone, as I do with my ex Maxi Lopez every time he comes to Argentina. I offered him my house and lent it to him. The loan was until November 25, after that I needed it for personal reasons.”
DID YOU KNOW?
Lara Piro, a lawyer representing Icardi, has responded by saying: “This is all part of a false accusation of non-existent threats, for which Wanda Nara will have to answer before the courts. It is shameful, immoral and unfair to harass a father of a family over a property issue on the eve of surgery. To do this to the father of her daughters, to the man who raised and supported her other three children, speaks volumes about the person that Mrs Nara is.”
WHAT NEXT?
Nara is said to have alleged that Icardi could have weapons on the property, although a search of the house – which began at 3:30am local time – found nothing. Icardi – who married Nara in May 2015 but saw the couple take in several separations before splitting for good in the summer of 2024 – has moved into a friend’s house ahead of undergoing a knee operation on Tuesday.
