Top 4 players who had the opportunity to play for Italy but didn't

#2 Mauro Icardi

Mauro Icardi

The Inter Milan superstar has made a name for himself as one of the best in the world. He is a prolific goal scorer at the club level but hasn't replicated the same form for his country. However, he has gotten only 5 chances for Argentina and was ousted from their World Cup, as well.

He had the opportunity to play for Italy but snubbed advances, saying that 'he thanks Italian Football for giving him the chance but that he is Argentine and wants to play for them'. However, he might not be feeling the same way now since, he hasn't gotten many opportunities.

Let's hope that he plays more often for Argentina and becomes an important part of their team.
