Inter owned Valentino Lazaro has admitted he is not currently thinking about his future at the moment in an interview with Austrian news outlet Sport.oe24.at.
The Austrian national team player joined Inter this past Summer in a circa €20 million deal from Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin but having struggled to cement a place in the Inter team in the first half of the season he was shipped out on loan to Newcastle United, who have the option to buy him permanently at the end of the season.
“I am not worrying about this at the moment. My main objective was to return to playing regularly, that’s why I took this step and moved to England.
“Regardless of the fact that this option exists, there are several factors that contribute to the decision. So I also have to decide and clarify what I want and what is right for me.”
He then went on to admit that he is continuing to learn Italian whilst football across the planet is on hold due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
“I am learning independently, it’s always nice to learn something new for your life. You can expand your horizons.”
The 23-year-old also admitted that he remains in touch with many of his Inter teammates and shared his hopes to see Italy recover from this difficult situation as soon as possible.
“I am still in contact with some players, in particular with my friend Romelu Lukaku. Unfortunately, at the moment, Milan is experiencing a very bad situation. Inter players are all at home. There are many deaths in Italy every day, one can only hope that the whole country will recover as soon as possible.”
This season he has made 16 appearances across all competitions to date in which he has scored one goal and tallied one assist.
