Legendary Inter midfielder Luis Suarez has urged Inter striker Lautaro Martinez to knock back the advances of Barcelona and stay with Inter for at least another year.
Ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window, Lautaro has found himself very heavily linked with a move to the La Liga powerhouses but Suarez, who played for both clubs during his playing career, believes he would be best to stay where he is for the time being.
“It looks like he will go to the Blaugrana but if I were him, I would stay another year at Inter,” Suarez explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli yesterday afternoon.
“In Milan he would complete his growth path as a protagonist, perhaps by winning something.He could win something in less time at Barcelona, but he would not be a protagonist.”
Suarez, who was an integral part of the Grande Inter side of the 1960s, also shared his views on claims made in the media that Inter will deploy their Primavera side against Napoli in their upcoming Coppa Italia semi final second leg.
“I don’t think Inter will send the Primavera onto the pitch against Napoli. Unfortunately, at this particular moment, we must accept the schedule.”
The Spaniard spent nine years with Inter between 1961 and 1970 and during his time with the club he made 329 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he scored 55 goals.
