The Argentinean striker has been linked with Real Madrid and Premier League clubs due to his stellar performances with the Neroazzurri.

Inter Milan's top scorer Mauro Icardi fueled transfer rumors with a couple of posts on his social media accounts, as he apparently bid farewell to the neroazzurri side.

Icardi has been linked with a high-profile move to Real Madrid, and given Florentino Pérez's way of making deals happen just hours before the transfer deadline, Icardi's messages were interpreted as a sign of things to come.

First off, he published a picture on his Instagram feed with the message "Being able to say goodbye is a chance to grow". The caption didn't help to put rumors to a rest, as he wrote "Chau chau" as a footnote, which translates to "bye bye".

Later, he used his Twitter feed to post a similar message, but this time he chose not to add any pictures to the cryptic message.

Icardi has cemented his name as one of Serie A's most prolific strikers in recent time. Nevertheless, his desire to play in the UEFA Champions League and Inter's poor form in recent weeks may have him asking to leave the neroazzurri in order to join a title contender. Will Real Madrid become his next destination? We'll find out in the next couple of days
