As revealed last night by FcInterNews.it, Inter is now leading the race to sign Racing Club sensation, Lautaro Martínez. This has also been confirmed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, who explain how the Nerazzurri are making definitive progress on the future of the young Argentine striker.

“All under the direction of vice-president, Javier Zanetti and Racing technical secretary Diego Milito, the deal would officially close in July for a figure of around €15 million plus bonuses”. We are down to the final details.

If Inter are able to sign the latest Argentine prodigy ahead of the likes of Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, among others, it would be a great testament to the working relationship between Zanetti and Milito, who played and won trophies together at Inter.

We can remain unsure of how Lautaro would fit into the team, but players of his potential do not come around very often so it’s best to sign him first, before any more competition takes serious interest.
