Inter bound Lautaro Martinez has come out and confirmed he is headed for Italy when speaking after Racing Club’s final group stage game 2-1 defeat to Cruzeiro in the Copa Libertadores.
“I am going to Italy and we will see what happens, I am very happy with what I gave to Racing,” he told reporters post match on the sidelines of the Brazilian side’s pitch.
Martinez also reflected on missing out on being included in Argentina’s final squad for the World Cup which was announced earlier this week.
“I was happy to have been included by Jorge Sampaoli in the 35 man preliminary squad list. It is a reward for the work I have done in these past few months but now we must support the 23 who will go to Russia.”
The 20-year-old striker has starred for Racing Club this term netting 17 goals in 24 games across all competitions and is expected to undergo his Inter medical this coming Friday.
