AFP, Milan :
Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi has begun legal action against the Serie A club, demanding to return to full training and 1.5 million euros ($1.6 million) in compensation, according to reports in Italy on Friday.
The Argentinian – who was stripped of the captaincy last season amid a long contract dispute – has been told that he is no longer part of the club’s plans under new coach Antonio Conte.
The 26-year-old has continued to train with the team, but is not allowed to take part in full tactical sessions.
His lawyers have written a letter to the club outlining his demands, Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia reported.
Icardi’s wife Wanda Nara, who is also his agent, has insisted he wants to remain at Inter where he has played since 2013 after joining from league rivals Sampdoria.
