"?The controversy around Mauro Icardi at Inter Milan has increased with reports of Ultras now turning up at the striker's house.
Sky Sports chief reporter, Kaveh Solhekol, posted on Twitter that the so-called Ultras, hard-core fans, had been seen outside the Argentine's residence on Sunday night.
Inter ultras at Mauro Icardi's home tonight. Angry about claim in his book that he confronted one of them. Ultras: "Icardi. You're finished"
"?"?Inter supporters unveiled a banner during Sunday's match against Cagliari which read: "You use a child to justify yourself and fling mud at us... You're not a man... You're not a Captain... You are just a vile piece of s***."?
Sections of the San Siro cheered when Icardi missed a penalty in that game as the situation worsened following comments the 23-year-old had made in his recently published autobiography.
The incident was instigated back in February 2015 when Icardi, alongside teammate Freddy Guarin, approached the fans to apologise for a poor performance in a 3-1 defeat to Sassuolo. Both players threw their shirts into the crowd only for them to be thrown straight back.
Icardi wrote in his book: "I am angry because I played so little. The fans start to shout: they call us to come over to their section. I find the courage to face them, along with Guarin.
"As I get closer, I receive insults and abuse of every kind. Attached to the netting is a kid who calls me: he wants my shirt.
"Considering his age, he could be my son: I take off my shirt and shorts and throw them to him, as a gift. This kid is in seventh heaven and I am pleased to see him so happy.
"A head of the ultras jumps on him to take away the shirt and throws it back at me. This is when I start insulting him: "?Piece of ****, you are acting all arrogant with a little kid to show off to the rest of the curva [Inter Milan utras]? Do you think you're hard?"
Inter ultras' response to this was to call for him to be stripped of the captaincy and it seems the relationship between the player and fans has deteriorated completely.
Icardi may well have to leave Inter purely for his safety after recent developments.
