Inter president Giuseppe Marotta (66-Italy) has responded firmly to speculation that Lautaro Martinez (26) will leave the club for Paris Saint-Germain. Marotta has no concerns that Martinez will leave the club and is optimistic that he will sign a new contract in the near future.
Speaking ahead of the match against Salernitana on Sunday, Marotta said, “I’m not worried about Martinez’s transfer speculation. We have not received any signals from Paris Saint-Germain or any other club. We are very optimistic about re-signing Martinez and he loves Inter,” he assured.
Paris Saint-Germain, who are likely to say goodbye to Kylian Mbappe, 25, this summer, are monitoring several strikers. Martinez is one of the many star strikers who have been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, as the French club are looking for a proven goalscorer. The Serie A’s leading striker is on the Paris Saint-Germain’s list alongside Victor Osimhen (Napoli, 25).
Recently, there was a scare at Inter when Paris Saint-Germain contacted Martinez’s agent and took the first step towards a transfer. However, Marotta is not worried about this situation at all. On the contrary, he’s confident that he’ll be able to re-sign the player and envisions a long-term future.
Martinez has a contract with Inter until 2026. With about two years left on his contract, the Nerazzurri have been in constant contact with Martinez in an attempt to re-sign him. Despite the disagreement between the two sides, Marotta is confident that it will eventually be resolved. The player is very happy at Inter, so there”s a good chance he”ll sign a new contract.
The Argentina international striker joined Inter in the summer of 2018 from Lassing Klube. Despite his diminutive stature at 5’10”, Martinez is a competitive striker who contributes to his team through simple link-up play with his teammates. His ability to create chances in the box with his mobility has allowed him to score more than 20 goals each season.
Martinez has been at the peak of his powers this season, with 23 goals (and two assists) in 32 official games, leading Inter’s attack. He’s also shown leadership by wearing the captain’s armband after the departure of the previous captain, proving himself to be one of Inter’s top stars.
