The Inter striker's wife and representative would not face the same level of criticism if she was a man, the 75-year-old has claimed.
Former AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has claimed Mauro Icardi’s agent, Wanda Nara, is the victim of 'machismo' in football, pointing to the male-dominated nature of the sport.
“The Icardi saga has been amplified by the machismo that governs the world of football. Whenever Wanda Nara opens her mouth, a hurricane is unleashed,” the 75-year-old told Italian outlet Corriere della Sera.
“Yet if great agents like Mino Raiola or Jorge Mendes behaved in the same way, no one would complain.
“Icardi, however, is a very good striker. If I could, I’d take him right away.”
