While his first answer was perhaps light-hearted, the Inter boss went on to say that Icardi would likely only move to a club where he believes he can make a difference.
"He is the type of character who can make a difference. He's not someone who would like to make a move without making his mark on this team," he continued.
"'I work every day with the utmost commitment to stay at Inter for as long as possible, maybe even achieving something important," he went on to say when asked about his own future.
