'The mafia is after Icardi!' The Wanda Nara-Maxi Lopez-Icardi scandal resurfaces years later
In 2008, Wanda Nara married Maxi Lopez, but she had already begun an illicit affair with Mauro Icardi, Lopez's teammate. The Lopez-Nara marriage ended in 2013. In 2014, Icardi and Nara, the protagonists of the illicit affair scandal, got married. Although this marriage ended in 2025, new details continue to emerge from the scandal.
Wanda Nara had an illicit affair with Mauro Icardi, who was her husband Maxi López's teammate at the time, while she was married to the footballer in 2013. This incident led to the couple's divorce and caused a major scandal in the world of sport. Wanda Nara then went on to marry Icardi.

The Mauro Icardi, Maxi Lopez and Wanda Nara love triangle, which shook the football world years ago, has resurfaced. Former Argentine footballer Gonzalo Bergessio made some eye-catching statements about that period.
According to Bergessio, following the scandal, the Sicilian mafia offered Maxi Lopez a ‘revenge plan’ targeting Mauro Icardi. However, Lopez, not wanting to escalate tensions, rejected the offer and prevented a potential tragedy by saying, ‘Calm down, let's end this here.’ Bergessio recounted his days playing with Lopez in Catania on the Mas de una Copa programme on DSports Radio, stating:
They said to Maxi, ‘If you like, we’ll follow that man.’ Maxi replied, ‘No, no.’ That’s when all the trouble started. I was there; nobody told me. I was actually there. Yes, they really wanted to go and catch him. Did Maxi save his life? Absolutely, yes.

Another claim came from Pablo Alvarez. Alvarez both corroborated Bergessio's account and stated that a well-known local criminal figure had attempted to force Icardi to leave the team immediately, intervening directly without renewing his contract.
