Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso commented on Mauro Icardi, whose contract with Galatasaray ended and who remained without a club over the summer, saying "No one can question his quality, he's a player who has scored 250 goals, but we made our choices earlier; we said Pinamonti and Gudmundsson," adding that he had also discussed the matter with the club president.
Gattuso said that transferring a player who would have to be left out of the squad would disrupt the team's internal balance. The coach stated that he also discussed this matter with the president.
