Lautaro Martinez could face a similar situation that Romelu Lukaku experienced at the Giuseppe Meazza, according to reports from Calciomercato. The Argentine striker only recently penned a contract extension deal with the Nerazzurri that will expire in the summer of 2026, but Inter could be the subject of yet another ‘indecent’ offer from the Premier League for their star marksman.
With the right amount of transfer offer for Il Toro, Inter are ready to part ways. And in the pole position remain North London giants Arsenal.
With the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and the imminent contract expirations of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah at the end of the season, the Gunners are short of options upfront. Keeping that in mind, their attention has turned towards 24-year-old Martinez.
While the Argentine is not hell bent on leaving Inter, the prospect of playing in the Premier League is hard to turn down after already having won domestic honors with the Italian champions.
However, they will reportedly face competition from North London derby rivals Tottenham Hotspur, as Martinez’s former Inter coach Antonio Conte has added him to ex-Juventus director Fabio Paratici’s wishlist.
While transfer talk is easy, the finances involved will certainly make interested clubs think twice before investing. Inter expect nothing less than €80m for their star forward, who still has three plus seasons left on his Nerazzurri contract.
On the other hand, Paulo Dybala’s potential arrival has put Inter in the spotlight, before which they will have to take care of Martinez’s future.
He has 65 goals in 172 appearances for Inter in his four seasons so far.
