Mauro Icardi: PSG terminate striker's deal after wife said he wants Italy return

- Mauro Icardi's contract deal with Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly been terminated

- Reports claim his wife Wanda Nara's recent comments about returning to Italy caused the action

- The 27-year-old has scored 17 goals in 26 matches for the Parisians in all competitions this season

Mauro Icardi's loan move at Paris Saint-Germain has been reportedly terminated following comments made by his wife Wanda Nara.

Wanda's recent statement about her husband wanting to return to Italy blew things out of proportion as it angered PSG chiefs.

The 27-year-old joined the Ligue 1 champions after his troubled spell with the San Siro giants Inter Milan.

And the Argentine striker has been in fine scoring form with 17 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions.

According to Italian news media outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Icardi's impressive form in France will come to an end on a sad note.

Despite a terrific goalscoring record at the San Siro, the Nerrazzuri fans were happy to see him leave the club for fresh legs up front last campaign.
