Mauro Icardi evicted by police from the home of his estranged wife Wanda Nara

Wanda Nara got police to evict her estranged footballer husband Mauro Icardi from her home near Buenos Aires three days before his knee surgery in the latest twist of their ugly split.

Officers woke the Galatasaray attacker in the early hours yesterday morning after the model and influencer reported him for threatening her during an argument over his alleged refusal to leave the premises.

Local reports said Wanda, who is now dating Argentine singer Elian Valenzuela, better known by his stage name L-Gante, alleged that Icardi may have weapons in the house on a gated residential estate in Nordelta, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Buenos Aires , and that this led to a police investigation into the home. house that yielded nothing.

The 31-year-old former PSG star has now been granted a restraining order ordering him to stay away from his ex and her home.

Wanda reportedly went to the police after Icardi failed to leave the house on a wealthy estate called Santa Barbara on November 25.

The former Argentina international had left Turkey for surgery in his home country after suffering a serious knee injury during a November 7 Europa League match against Tottenham.

He eventually moved into the property he was evicted from yesterday, after initially moving into a luxury apartment where Wanda normally stays in Buenos Aires when she is in Argentina while on holiday with her new partner in Brazil.

Argentine media reported that police arrived to ask Icardi to leave the premises and search it for weapons during a three-hour operation that started at 3:30 am local time yesterday, an hour after he went to bed.

The striker eventually had to go to a friend's house to catch up on his lost sleep.

Hours before the eviction, and after the argument allegedly led to Wanda's decision to force him out of her home with the help of the police, Icardi appeared to have taunted his ex by posting a photo of her infinity pool on his Instagram to put the river outside.

Wanda had told Argentine media before the expulsion, referring to another footballer, ex-Maxi Lopez, who is the father of three of her five children: “I lent him my house from the heart, as I would with anyone, like I do every time with my ex Maxi Lopez. time he comes to Argentina.

'I offered him my house and lent it to him. The loan ran until November 25, after which I needed it for personal reasons.'

Lara Piro, a lawyer representing the footballer, called the expulsion “shameful and immoral.”

Speaking to an Argentinian showbiz website, she said: 'This is all part of a false accusation of non-existent threats, for which Wanda Nara will have to answer in court.

“It is shameful, immoral and unfair to harass a father of a family over a property issue on the eve of an operation.”

She added: “To do this to the father of her daughters, to the man who raised and supported her other three children, speaks volumes about the person Ms. Nara is.”

Icardi's life off the pitch has been in the spotlight since his soap opera-esque feud over Wanda with former friend and Sampdoria teammate Maxi Lopez.

She divorced her first husband after accusing him of cheating on her.

Wanda married Icardi in May 2014, shortly after Lopez's divorce was finalized.

The love triangle between the two players and the beautiful WAG Nara came to light in November 2013 when it was revealed that Icardi had taken steps against his former friend's wife when their marriage fell apart.

Lopez refused to shake his ex-boyfriend's hand when they met on the pitch in a Serie A match between Sampdoria and Inter in April 2014, leading the press to dub the match the 'Wanda derby'.

Things between them got even worse in June 2015 when Icardi tweeted a new arm tattoo of the three children Wanda had with Maxi Lopez with the message: “I love these three little angels.”

Icardi and Wanda Nara endured multiple breakups and emotional reunions before revealing in July that they had split for good.

Angela Burgos, the lawyer he hired to oversee his divorce from Wanda, last month laughed off claims they were dating and insisted she remained “single.”

L-Gante, Wanda's new partner, was given a three-year suspended prison sentence in October after being convicted of threatening behavior against three separate victims following a high-profile trial.

Mauro Icardi will be out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury in Galatasaray's match against Spurs last month.

He has spent three weeks in Argentina undergoing preliminary treatment ahead of his surgery, scheduled for Tuesday.
