Valentino Lazaro’s agent Max Hagmayr has rubbished recent media speculation that his client could be set to return to Hertha Berlin on loan from Inter.

The Austrian international has struggled for playing time this season since his Summer arrival from the Bundesliga outfit and has been limited to just 41 minutes on the field, which came in one substitute appearance.

“This is not the intention of Inter, nor of Hertha Berlin or ours. We have not held any talks about this. Valentino is ready to impose itself at Inter and wants to give everything in order to succeed. It is a shame to have to respond to this fake news,” he explained in an interview with LaOlaTV.

The 23-year-old, who is under contract with the Nerazzurri through to the end of the 2022/23 season, has recently come out in the media and declared his ambitions to force his way into Antonio Conte’s plans.
