Lautaro Martinez, the renewal with Inter: all the figures of the new contract

No surprises under the Christmas tree, but a big bang is coming for New Year’s Eve. Between Lautaro Martinez and the signing of the contract renewal with Inter it is now really a question of details. The parties have continued to work tirelessly in recent weeks, fixing almost everything. We are at the final straight of a long marathon experienced with great serenity on all sides. Because Lautaro has always chosen Inter: in past years, when Barcelona and Real Madrid had tried to explore the possibility of a transfer for him; and also last summer, when Saudi Arabia would have been willing to even offer the moon to Taurus in order to receive a yes.

But there’s no way around it, the Argentine also proved to be a rare commodity in this, a man of times gone by. He embraced the Inter project of which today he has become the symbolic man, the face of the new Interism. And he wants to continue to grow and win at the Nerazzurri, with the captain’s armband on his arm and the love of the Inter family around him. By the Epiphany, Inter hopes to be able to make the official announcement on the renewal which will be until at least 2028 and which will guarantee Lautaro a salary of 7 million net per season, making the Argentine the highest paid player in the squad.

always at the top

In short, a reward for his loyalty and leadership, which has become even stronger since he wore the captain’s armband. And the first months of the season have once again confirmed how fundamental Lautaro is for Inzaghi’s Inter: a modern striker, of quality and sacrifice, who in these first five years in Milan has grown from week to week, up to become a top international player. The World Cup won last year in Qatar was a further incentive to always want more, from himself first and foremost. And Lautaro’s 2023 was bordering on perfection: in the first six months he won two more cups with Inter, with whom he then reached an unexpected Champions League final. And with the start of the new season, Lautaro has transformed himself into a sort of new super goal hero: in the league we have 13 goals in 14 games, an impressive pace that could allow him to shatter his personal best in the single championship (21 in the last two years) and also to try to attack Higuain and Immobile’s Serie A record, set at 36 goals.

in the myth

In a football where everything is bought and values ​​seem to have disappeared, Lautaro is a candidate to be one of the last flags. He has been at Inter for six seasons and with the new contract he could spend more than ten years with the Nerazzurri, becoming one of the longest-serving attackers (more than a legend like Boninsegna) and deserving his personal “star”. His current mission, however, is to win Inter’s 20th scudetto, the one that allows them to sew the second star on the shirt. A goal that has become an obsession for Toro after the incredible epilogue of the 2021-22 season, which ended crying under the Curva Nord, after a scudetto lost in the photo finish and ending up in the Rossoneri’s Milan.

love and honor

In Lautaro’s tears there was frustration and disappointment, but also a pact of honor and love. The Martinez family has chosen Milan, has sworn loyalty to Inter and wants to continue to grow together with the club, aiming to win everything. With Lautaro, a symbolic man, an example for the younger ones and a leader. In Milito’s footsteps he entered the hearts of the fans, now he wants to follow Javier Zanetti’s example and rewrite history. A new Argentinian in the Nerazzurri myth. A new flag.
