On his return home, Icardi was parking his car when he was approached by two men who demanded money.

When he refused, his luxury Hublot watch -- seen pictured in a Twitter post while Icardi is driving to training in his Rolls Royce -- was taken by the thieves before they made their escape on a motorbike, according to fcinternews.it.

Icardi was left unharmed and a complaint has been made to police in Milan.
