Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi has reiterated his desire to remain with the Serie A club for his entire career in a Facebook Q&A session.
Icardi, who joined from Sampdoria in 2013, signed a contract extension until 2021 last October and he says he fully expects not only to fulfil that, but to sign another deal with the club.
"I've answered many times already: I'm a huge fan of this club and I'm really happy in Milan so I hope to stay at Inter forever," Icardi said. "I get on really well with the other Argentinians off the field and we're all very united within the dressing room, where we all speak Italian."
Icardi not only wants to enjoy a long career at Inter, he also wants to win things with the Nerazzurri, and he remains confident that the club's new owners -- the Suning Group -- will succeed in bringing some silverware to the club.
"The club are working really hard and they want Inter to be back where they were in previous years, above all winning things again," Icardi said. "We're working month by month, also looking to bring in players who can be useful to the team.
"Our team manager's been to China and he was impressed. We'll go there in the summer and will get a good overall look at the Inter project.
"I want to play at the highest level with this team. I'm a forward and I need to score goals but I want to play at a higher level. I can't wait to play in the Champions League with this club. Let's try to qualify for it and when we do, we'll be ready."
Icardi has been training in Milan over the international break after failing to make the Argentina squad, but he says he does not have any ill feeling over seeing them lose to Bolivia on Tuesday night.
"I always watch the national team games and am a big fan," he said. "I love Argentina because I was born there and there are some gorgeous places to visit there."
Icardi grew up from a footballing perspective in Spain, joining Barcelona's youth setup in 2010, but he says it was not until he worked for Roberto Mancini that he felt he really made the breakthrough.
"Each coach you have gives a little something to every player, but the one who changed my game the most was Mancini," he said. "He taught me to play more outside the area, dropping me back a bit.
"Right from the first day he arrived, he had me working on that."
