Holding off Lautaro Martinez’s departure, Inter Prepares a High Salary

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Inter Milan will do everything to keep Lautaro Martinez from leaving, including paying him a high salary.

Continuing to be associated with the move to Barcelona, the future of Martinez has indeed been uncertain. Wanting to clarify the situation, Inter is reportedly now ready to double the salary of the Argentine striker if there is no offer from the Blaugrana in accordance with the release clause of the player.

The 22-year-old striker is indeed said to have a release clause that applies to clubs outside Italy of Rp1.8 billion. However, the period of the clause will end this Tuesday (07/07), so if indeed there is no offer, Inter wants to renew the contract of Martinez immediately.

According to news from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter intends to increase the salary of the attacker to Rp 81 billion, exactly twice as much as what he is receiving right now. Actually the salary is still far below what is reportedly ready to be given by Barcelona which is worth Rp 162 billion, but the Nerazzurri still hopes Martinez will accept their offer.

With the contract renewal, Inter certainly hopes that the player can forget the interest of Barcelona and focus only on Antonio Conte’s team. he still has a contract until 2023, it is still unclear how long the extension will be offered by La Beneamata or whether there will be another clause in the attacker’s contract.

Although the validity period of the player’s clause will end today, reportedly Barcelona will still not give up on chasing after Martinez. For this reason, Inter are serious about extending the contract of the 22-year-old striker even though the attacker is still bound until 2023.

The seriousness of the Blaugrana to bring Martinez is high because he was plotted as a potential successor to Luis Suarez who is no longer young. However, the problem for Barca is that they have difficulty in paying the release clause requested by Inter and can only afford to pay with money along with additional players.
