Inter and Lautaro Martinez expressed their desire to reach an agreement on a contract extension in the last few weeks. The negotiation has formally started, as the club tendered its opening offer in recent days, Tuttomercatoweb relays.
The Nerazzurri proposed to make the Argentine the highest-paid player in the squad. His wages would grow to €7M plus add-ons and increase gradually to €8M until 2028. Two years would be added to his current deal.
Inter wish to shake hands with Lautaro Martinez by the end of the calendar year, even though the schedule doesn’t offer many windows to negotiate serenely. More meetings will be necessary to finalize the agreement.
Giuseppe Marotta dished on the team’s captain again on Thursday (via Sky).
“He’s our Lionel Messi right now. I don’t know if he’s the strongest player I’ve had. It’s hard to define that category. He’s a young talent who has become a champion. He’s playing and improving game after game.”
“I don’t want to give any more news about him now as we are already overexposed on the media in that respect. However, if the question is whether we can be serene about him, my answer would be yes.”
Our Take on Inter and Lautaro Martinez
The Nerazzurri surely seem to have turned the corner financially after a few rough years, and, also considering the other pending renewals, it’s, it’s interesting that they are bound to raise their payroll in a pivotal season for the future of the club.
