Lautaro Martinez will be rewarded with a new and improved contract by Inter if he is to reject Barcelona and stay with the club according to a report in today’s print edition of Corriere dello Sport.
The highly rated 22-year-old forward is being linked with a switch to the reigning La Liga champions pretty much every day and whilst Inter certainly cannot compete with the salary Barcelona are reportedly willing to offer him, Inter could still give him a sizeable increase to his current contract.
Lautaro is currently under contract with the club until the end of the 2022/23 season and earns €3 million a year. The contract also has a €111 million release clause, a clause only valid to clubs outside of Italy and in the first two weeks of every July.
The report from the Rome based newspaper goes on to state that Inter could offer him a new deal worth at least €5 million a year and the release clause will either be doubled or removed entirely.
