Inter Milan are ready to extend the contract of forward Lautaro Martinez until the end of 2028.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Il Giornale, via FCInter1908, who report that the Nerazzurri will hold talks with the Argentine and his representatives in the autumn, and that he should receive a pay raise to around €7.5 million net per season.
As things stand, Martinez’s contract with Inter runs out at the end of June 2026.
The former Racing Club striker signed his current deal during the fall of 2021.
However, Inter are already ready to start thinking well into the future. Martinez is a player who the club see as part of the foundation of the team for many seasons to come.
The Argentine’s performances over the past couple of seasons have only grown in quality. Therefore, the Nerazzurri are prepared to tie down his future with a new long-term deal.
Moreover, it is not as though there is not interest in taking Martinez away from Inter. Premier League giants Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur have all targeted the Nerazzurri striker in the recent past.
Given that Martinez will also captain Inter next season, however, his importance to the club is greater than ever
Therefore, it seems very likely that the Nerazzurri will aim to extend his deal. This would both keep the Argentine content at the club to ward off interest, and reflect his status within the team.
