Since the start of the football season, a center-forward has emerged in the eyes of those who do not follow Serie A very closely. Obviously, it is the Argentinian international of Inter Milan Lautaro Martinez. Last year already, we could see his level without it being really regular. But this year, whoever shares the front of the attack with Romelu Lukaku is dying the screen to the point that the biggest clubs of the Old Continent want to recover it.
The hottest thing in this little game is FC Barcelona. The Catalans are looking to find a successor to Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan international himself says it very well: ” It’s no surprise that the club is looking for a No. 9, it’s the reality of football. I said it a while ago, a day will come when my age will not allow me to live up to what FC Barcelona needs to be competitive, but as long as I can, as long as I have the strength, it would be better to bring me a competitor “
The scary € 111m clause
Except that Lautaro Martinez will not be easy to tear from the Lombard formation. The first reason is that he is under contract until June 30, 2023 and the second is that he seems to have faith in his coach Antonio Conte. But this is not enough. Arriving incognito in Europe, the center-forward is earning € 2 million annually, which is relatively little for a player of his talent. Aware of this, the residents of Giuseppe Meazza would have submitted a new lease to him.
According to information from Sport, Lautaro Martinez would have refused the proposal and the legs begin to tremble on the side of Inter, which offered him a salary of 4 M € net per year, far from what Barça could offer him even in England where he is tracked by Chelsea and Manchester City. Inter’s goal is to renegotiate the contract and blow up the release clause the player has (111 million euros). There will be all the stakes of the next meetings between the young Argentinian crack and his club.
