Inter player since 2018, Lautaro Martinez has become one of the pillars of the Nerazzurra team. Having become captain of the Interists, the Argentinian has a record of 158 goals and 51 assists in 342 matches, all competitions combined.

In an interview given to Corriere dello Sportthe interior sports director revealed that the 2022 world champion had signed for Atlético de Madrid, but that he blew it all up.
“He had already signed with Atlético de Madrid. I traveled, at the risk of returning without the player. You know what shame I would have suffered… I intervened by banking on the fact that the clubs had not yet reached an agreement. But we also did other good things. Micki (Henrikh Mkhitaryan, editor's note) for zero euros, because Roma no longer wanted him“.
