Inter striker Lautaro Martinez’s agent Beto Yaque has revealed that he has had some talks with other clubs about his client amid ongoing rumours linking him with several clubs.
“With Lautaro we are not talking about a transfer to another club or his contract with Inter,” he remarked in an interview with Argentine radio station show 947 FM Radio earlier on today.
“I was with him in Europe just before all the rumours about Barcelona exploded. Many people from Spain, Italy and England called me. We read and hear the rumours but we don’t know anything about his future.”
Yaque did however go on to insist that Lautaro is happy where he is and refused to rule out that he had spoken with other clubs but there is nothing formal for the time being.
“He is fine where he is, he just wants to play and score. We talk to various people from some clubs, we met out of respect and to get to know each other, but nothing formal.”
Many reports have spoken on the possible partnership that Lautaro could form with Lionel Messi at Barcelona and Yaque was asked if his client would like to play alongside Messi.
“Who wouldn’t like to play together with him? It was a dream for Lautaro to play alongside him at the Copa America.
Yaque then went on to discuss when he first came to know Lautaro and revealed he that he knew his client was going to become a top player even all those years ago.
“I met him when he was practically a child, he was 15-years-old and he played in Bahia Blanca. It took me little time to understand that he could become a great player.
“He made impressive movements and had great ball control. Now it is easy to talk, but he was already impressive at the time. Several teams wanted him, I spoke on the phone with his father and I spent a week with them. In the end he chose to go to Racing.”
This season Lautaro has made 31 appearances across all competitions in which he has scored 16 goals and provided four assists.
