Former Inter attacker Ruben Sosa has called for Lautaro Martinez to resist the temptation to move on and stay with Inter and win trophies with the Nerazzurri.
The highly rated 22-year-old Argentine national team striker has been heavily linked with a potential Summer transfer window switch to Spanish giants Barcelona.
Reports have suggested that Barcelona see him as one of their top transfer targets and as the ideal long term replacement for the ageing Luis Suarez, who will turn 34-years-old in the coming months.
“I think he should stay at Inter, he is a champion and when you play for the great Italian teams you have to win something. Before leaving you have to make a mark,” Sosa explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Musica Television earlier on today.
Sosa, who joined Inter in 1992 from fellow Serie A side Lazio, then reflected on the three years he spent with the club prior to joining German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
“I arrived under Ernesto Pellegrini and I left in Massimo Moratti’s first year. I spent three beautiful years with the Nerazzurri.
“I had the opportunity to move to both Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, the Germans were a very strong team and they wanted me despite my physical condition not being optimal. It was a positive year, we won the league and I also scored several goals.”
The former Uruguayan national team player then spoke on comparisons that have been made between him and other former Inter striker Diego Milito.
“Diego was a real striker, he scored in any way, but I was faster and better at shooting from distance. We are similar. He won the Champions League, I won the UEFA Cup.
“Leaving the Nerazzurri with a European title was the best feeling for me, given that the players are remembered for the trophies won and not only for the goals scored.”
