After a World Cup in Qatar where he was unable to demonstrate all his talent as a result of an injury, Lautaro Martinez He returned to Inter at an excellent level, becoming a key player for the technical director Simone Inzaghi and being the great desire of several of the main clubs in Europe.

According to the European press, the Bull began to be targeted by several of the main clubs in England, such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. He is also closely followed by Cholo Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid. Faced with this scenario, the Nerazzurro made the decision not to place him in the next transfer market and designed a plan to tempt him to continue defending the black and blue jersey.

La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that the leadership is grateful for his behavior both on and off the pitch. The intention of the leaders, therefore, is to reject any possible offer that they can receive for the man who emerged from the Racing quarry and offer him the captain’s armband next season.

Inter, for some time now, has been in full replacement of its leaders. After the departures of Alexander Kolarov (retired) and Ivan Perisic (left for Tottenham), the bearers of the ribbon are the experienced Slovenian goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, followed by Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and Italian defender Danilo D’Ambrosio. An important fact is that both the goalkeeper and the central marker have a contract with the club until June of this year.

Lautaro, despite sharing the lead with names such as the Bosnian Edin Dzeko, the Belgian Romelu Lukaku or his compatriot Joaquín Correa, is an immovable piece for the coach. The Argentine, with 13 goals (one from a penalty), is the second top scorer in Serie A, only surpassed by the Nigerian Víctor Osimhen (Napoli).

Since his return from the World Cup, Martínez has played 11 games, in which he has scored eight goals and provided one assist. In some he wore the captain’s ribbon and was key to beating his classic rival Milan in the Italian Super Cup final.

Inter, despite being relegated in the dispute for Calcio (runs second, but 15 behind leader Napoli), is in the round of 16 of the Champions League (this Wednesday it will open its series against Porto de Portugal) and in the semifinals of the Italian Cup (will be measured against Juventus).
