Icardi: “I don’t know Balotelli, I don’t think there are any similarities. Gossip? I don’t care”

Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi doesn't like comparisons with Mario Balotelli and made it clear in a recent interview:

“In this malarkey about 'Icardi the Bad Boy', which people turn into Icardi & Balotelli, I simply don't recognise myself," he told GQ Italia.

“I never hung out with him, I don't know him at all, zero. And I don't think there are any similarities.

“The fact is that I live in a very normal way, in spite of what people think.

“I know I'm a public figure and I behave accordingly, but I'm not interested in gossip. That's a part of other people's lives, not mine."
