Inter president Erick Thohir insists Mauro Icardi is not for sale, having rejected offers from Serie A rivals Napoli among others.

Napoli had reportedly put in a bid for the Argentine forward in the hope of replacing the outgoing Gonzalo Higuain, who joined Juventus in a big-money €90million deal on Tuesday. 

However, Thohir warned Icardi is not for sale, with the Italian club eager to hold on to their captain and star striker. 

"We're not going to sell Icardi. We've received offers – from Napoli too – but we're not going to sell him," he told Inter Channel. 

"We extended his contract a year ago. We're like a family and we can always talk if there are problems or discuss what we'd like to achieve together in future. 

"He's our captain and an important player for us. We're very happy with him."
