While he is often in the shadow of the best attackers in Europe, Lautaro Martinez is indeed one of them. The Argentine striker, who arrived at Inter Milan in 2018, is coming off several high-level seasons and was even a major architect of the Lombards’ big run last season to the Champions League final. Better, since the start of the season, the native of Bahia Blanca has already compiled 10 goals, including 4 against Salernitana this weekend in just over 30 minutes of play, and 2 assists in 8 matches in all competitions and his affinity with his new attacking partner, Marcus Thuram, has something to delight his supporters. But while the Albiceleste international’s contract expires in 3 years, a renewal is often mentioned.
Asked by TvPlay.itAlejandro Camaño, the 26-year-old player’s agent, confirmed his client’s desire to settle long-term with the Nerazzurri despite interest from Saudi Arabia this summer: “Saudi Arabia is a market full of temptations and it has had many offers, but not only from there. When I tell him about these possibilities, he replies “Inter Ale, Inter”. The affinity with the supporters and the club is total, which is why, this summer, he did not even listen to alternative offers from Inter: he loves being in Milan too much, and wearing the Nerazzurri jersey. Despite the rumors, he only thinks about staying here.” A good omen for the rest of the Inter season!
