Gazzetta dello Sport report that Lautaro Martinez, as confirmed yesterday in his interview with Inter TV, will not be leaving the club nor is he another Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa.
In Argentina, many have been surprised by how little El Toro is being played, considering his contract (which expires in 2023) is worth €1.5 million per year and has a €111 million release clause (only valid to foreign clubs).
Shockingly, there are those who went a step further, to suggest that El Toro would be on his way back to Buenos Aires from Milan. Claiming, Victor Blanco, President of Racing of Avellaneda, the team that sold him in Summer for 25 million, asked for him on loan. However, this was disproved straight from the lips of Inter’s Sporting Director, Piero Ausilio, who made it very clear, Inter wants to keep El Toro at all costs. Perhaps this was only a hypothesis made after the young striker visited Racing sports centre in Buenos Aires, yesterday, where he was all smiles and took many photos with his former teammates for social media.
