"Inter" offers a new contract to L. Martinez © SIPA

At the beginning of this summer, there were reports that Barcelona is planning to buy Inter Milan's forward Lautaro Martinez. However, Barcelona faced financial problems and the Argentine, who had a release clause of 111 million euros in his contract, remained in Italy. The Serie A team plans to continue making every effort to keep the 22-year-old talent in their ranks for as long as possible. "We are in talks to extend contracts with many players, but priority is given to younger footballers with whom we want to continue working together for a long time. L. Martinez is also on this list. We are negotiating calmly, not rushing. The forward is happy to wear Inter's socks and when the right moment comes, we will evaluate his future," said the club's director, Beppe Marotta.
