Inter Linked Lucas Martínez Quarta’s Agent: “It’s A Source Of Pride That Javier Zanetti Recognises Lucas’ Talent”

Inter linked Lucas Martínez Quarta’s agent, Gustavo Goni, discussed the Nerazzurri’s interest in his client as well as the player’s desires in an interview with Italian media outlet FcInter1908 earlier today.

First, Goni revealed that he hasn’t been in contact with Inter recently.

“No, we haven’t had any contact with the Nerazzurri lately.”

The agent then discussed whether there is an agreement with Argentinian side River Plate, where Martinez Quarta is contracted to 2021, to leave in the summer.

“There’s nothing definite yet. But if there is an offer that satisfies both parties, the matter will be resolved positively.”

He revealed that Martinez Quarta has been followed by other European clubs as well as Inter.

“There are many clubs interested in the player. They are not from Italy, but for the moment there are no concrete offers yet.”

Goni spoke about the 23-year-old Argentine defender’s desires and what he wants for his future.

“Lucas is very quiet and focused on the commitments he will have to face with River Plate. His summoning with Argentina for the Copa America was very likely, unfortunately with this Coronavirus emergency the tournament has been suspended. As far as I’m concerned Lucas, because of his characteristics, he could play in any league in the world. We will see what will happen, we will evaluate and make a decision together.”

The agent discussed his client’s conversation with Inter executive Javier Zanetti.

“I know they had a phone contact a while back. It is surely a source of pride that someone like Zanetti recognises Lucas’ talent.”

He revealed that Martinez Quarta is confident playing in a three-man defense, the usual system of coach Antonio Conte.

“Since the beginning of the year, River has been playing with a three-man defense. The good thing for Lucas is that he is able to play in all three positions of this system and he has shown it on the pitch.”

Finally, Goni refused to suggest that Inter were closest to signing his client out of all of the interested clubs.

“It wouldn’t be wise to say that because no one made a formal offer! The real thing is that he’s a River player and he’s at a wonderful time in his career. We’ll evaluate the rest in due course. No hurry.”
