Icardi Quotes on Champions League, Inter and New Signings

On the Champions League: "My goal was to reach the Champions League and now that we have achieved that, the future starts from here"

On negotiations with Inter: "I will meet with the club and I will do my best for Inter. But I have reformed my house in Milan. It's a sign ... I'm Inter's biggest fan, but I have two months to sit down with the club and talk about what's best for me: if it's Inter, I'll be very happy to stay, if it's somewhere else, I'll weigh that up"

On Inter's performance: "Starting next season, we have to continue to improve. A team like ours cannot allow itself to suffer the ups and downs we had last season. Only then can we fight for something bigger. We have to increase the high-level performances and cut out low-level performances."

On new signings: "Reinforcements in the transfer market? Surely there will be possibilities. The club will try to do well, as it did this year. The base is already good, but if there are new arrivals, we will welcome them with open arms."
