Mauro Icardi is still yet to agree a contract renewal at Inter due to a disagreement over image rights, according to reports.

The Nerazzurri are keen to tie the 21-year-old down to a new four-year-deal to ward off interest from the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid, but talks are still ongoing.

Tuttosport report that although some progress has been made in discussions, the main point of contention is over image rights which the player wishes to have total control over.

Inter managed to tie fellow youngster Mateo Kovacic down to a new contract until 2019 earlier in the season, and are keen to do the same with the Argentinean as the club looks to build for the future.

Icardi moved to the San Siro from Sampdoria in for €14 million in summer 2013, and has been in impressive form this season, netting 15 times in 27 games in all competitions.
