Lautaro Martinez Will Soon Get a New Contract From Inter Milan

DBasia.news – Inter Milan Executive Director, Giuseppe Marotta said that his party was in negotiations related to the contract extension of Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez. Thanks to the brilliant appearance of Martinez, he became the main prey of a number of big European clubs in the market next summer.

One of the clubs most passionate about bringing the 22-year-old forward is Barcelona. The Catalan club is interested in recruiting Martinez as a potential replacement for Luis Suarez, who has turned 33 years old. However, Barcelona’s efforts to recruit Martinez continue to be deadlocked.

Because, Inter Milan insisted reluctant to release the former Racing striker. Not only that, Barcelona’s opportunity to activate the Martinez release clause has also been closed. The reason is, the release clause of Martinez had ended earlier this month. In the release clause, Martinez can be redeemed with a tag of up to 111 million euros.

This time, Barcelona again faces the latest obstacle to being able to recruit the Argentine national team striker. La Beneamata is trying to offer a contract extension to Martinez. Imported from Racing at the start of the 2018/2019 season, Martinez is bound with a five-year contract duration, or ends in 2023.

However, in order to fence Martinez from the temptations of other clubs, Inter Milan hopes, Martinez can immediately sign a new contract. “We are in the middle of discussing a contract extension for a number of young players, especially young players who will strengthen this team in the long term and Martinez is included in this criterion,” Marotta told Sky Sports Italia on Thursday (7/23).

Marotta said, in the process of negotiating a contract extension with Martinez, I Nerazzurri management would do it calmly and in no hurry. The former Juventus Sports Director is convinced, with the good relations established between Inter Milan and Martinez in the last two seasons, the sticker that packs 13 goals from 32 appearances in the Serie A stage this season will soon sign a new contract.

“We negotiated the extension of this contract calmly and not in a hurry. This is because there is already a trust that exists between the club and the players. “He is happy to wear an Inter Milan shirt and at the right time we will continue to evaluate his future at this club,” Marotta stressed.
