Inter Milan: summer will be hot for Lautaro Martinez
Announced in the sights of several major European clubs, Lautaro Martinez remains for the moment focused on his end of the season with Inter Milan but his summer transfer window promises to be agitated.
Despite the departure last summer of Romelu Lukaku, with whom he had a great bond on the pitch, the Argentine striker has lost none of his sense of goal during the 2021-22 financial year. Author of 19 goals in Serie A this season, Lautaro Martinez ranks 3rd in the scorer rankings behind Ciro Immobile (27 goals with Lazio Rome) and Dusan Vlahovic (23 goals with Fiorentina and Juventus Turin). Regularly announced on the departure, the striker of Inter Milan should again animate the next summer transfer window even if he remains discreet on the subject.
My future ? I only think of the field. We have a goal in the league, that’s what matters. We have two very important games left for the Scudetto, but also the Coppa Italia final which means a lot to me. The rest doesn’t matter to me.” dropped the Nerazzurri striker during an interview with Rai Sport. Despite everything, the Italian press understands that the player’s entourage is beginning to listen carefully to offers from other major European clubs. Approached by FC Barcelona in recent seasons, Lautaro Martinez would please Joan Laporta a lot, but the finances of the Blaugrana club did not allow such a big transfer to be considered immediately.
On the side of the Lombard club, the financial situation is not looking good either. Last summer, the 2021 Italian champion was forced to sell Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea and Achraf Hakimi to PSG to avoid too big a deficit. In the event of an interesting offer, Inter Milan will not retain their striker during the next transfer window. Bought for a check of between 20 and 25 million euros in 2018, the former Racing Club player could bring in between 60 or 70 million euros this time. Several English clubs are on the move…
