Inter manager Antonio Conte has asked club management to postpone contract renewal talks with Lautaro Martinez to avoid distractions at this time according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset, which was broadcast a short time ago.
Lautaro was left angry on Wednesday night when he was substituted a few minutes from the end of Inter’s UEFA Champions League group stage match at home to Shakhtar Donetsk as he would have liked to have continued to participate in the match which Inter had to win.
The report warns that this situation must be monitored as it is not the first time that Lautaro has been angered by being brought off as he was also angry when substituted versus Genoa earlier on this season.
It has been a season of ups and downs for Lautaro who now must gear up for the match with Cagliari, who he has previously been sent off against and they were also the team who his long goal drought last season began against.
The highly rated 23-year-old, who joined Inter in 2018 and is under contract with the club until 2023, has made 100 appearances across all competitions to date for the club, in which he has scored 36 goals and tallied 11 assists.
