Lautaro Martinez is set to crown a perfect season between Serie A and the Champions League by signing a new deal with Inter Milan.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
This summer has certainly been a positive one for Martinez.
The 26-year-old has enjoyed an excellent Copa America with the Argentine national team, helping them to win the tournament.
Martinez finished the Copa as the tournament’s top scorer, with five goals from six matches played in total.
The Inter captain did not start regularly for the Albiceleste throughout the tournament.
Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez, who had overtaken Martinez in the starting spot at the World Cup in Qatar, was still the starter in most of Argentina’s matches.
However, that certainly did not prevent Martinez from having an impact off the bench.
The 26-year-old scored decisive goals for Argentine throughout the tournament. Including in yesterday evening’s 1-0 win over Colombia in the final.
This makes it three trophies in a row that Martinez has won with Argentina at international tournaments.
Lautaro Martinez To Extend Inter Milan Contract To Cap Off Flying Season
Now it is time for Martinez to turn his attention back to his club duties.
The 26-year-old will have a few weeks of vacation after the Copa America. He will have the next three weeks off to rest and recharge after a long club season and the Copa.
Then, the Argentine will start preparing for the upcoming club season in Inter’s preseason training camp. He’ll be in training on the 7th or 8th of August.
It will be tough for the 26-year-old to follow up his exemplary season this time around, between his club and international success.
Martinez’s exploits have even put him in contention for the Ballon D’Or.
And now, it is time for the Argentine to extend his contract with Inter.
At present, Martinez is under contract with the Nerazzurri until the end of June 2026. However, he will soon sign a new deal taking him to the end of June 2029.
