Inter have every intention of extending the contract of Lautaro Martinez, which should happen sooner rather than later. The Argentine added one goal to his seasonal tally versus Torino. He has already scored 12 times across all competitions, hitting the net once every 75 minutes, La Gazzetta dello Sport points out.
Despite the Nerazzurri’s confidence about prolonging the contract of their ace, it doesn’t mean that the European powerhouses haven’t snooped around on a few occasions. If that happened again, his team would respond with a sky-high price to repel them.
Inter value Martinez €180M, which is similar to what Napoli asked for Victor Osimhen last summer. The Nigerian ace is in a much more precarious contractual situation.
El Toro is in line for a contract renewal. It’s uncertain when the parties will be able to iron it out given the packed schedule. His next contract will run until 2028. The base salary will be at least €7M.
Our Take on Inter and Lautaro Martinez
The fact that, despite their well-known financial problems, the Nerazzurri never seriously entertained his departure, even though it could have solved their difficulties in one fell swoop, is commendable. The valuation is arguably low considering how he has fared this season and the price tags of lesser strikers last summer.
