Inter will offer Argentine striker Lautaro Martínez to pay him 5,000,000 euros per year net, instead of the 2,500,000 he currently receives, so that he continues at the club and does not choose to leave for Barcelona, the Catalan press said today. .
In order to cancel Barcelona's attempts to sign him, Inter wants to propose a renewal to the Bahia forward and the offer would consist of extending the contract for one more year and paying him 5,000,000 euros net, Mundo Deportivo said.
Today, according to Inter, the ex-clause of 111 million euros that the former Racing striker has expires, but Inter does not want to know anything about parting with the man who adds 12 goals this season in 27 games in Serie A.

Giuseppe Marotta, manager of Inter, pointed out about the current situation of Martínez: "We don't want to sell to important players. Lautaro is only 23 years old and is in a moment of involution due to all the rumors that surround him. In the first part of the season we saw to a great Lautaro and now he must rediscover the tranquility that leads him to obtain satisfactions and guarantee his continuity ?.
" We will talk when the season ends. Barça have no dates on the calendar. We are now in the League, " said Josep María Bartomeu, president of Barcelona. Despite all of Inter's efforts to satisfy Martínez, the Catalans do not change their strategy and now consider that time is in their favor.
It is not in the plans of the Catalans to pay the 111 million euros and as the barter of players is not in the interest of the Milanese club, it will wait to make a move later, counting with the most important ones, Lautaro's desire to play alongside Lionel Messi in Catalonia.
Considering that the Champions League and Europa League will be played in August, the beginning of the following season could be set in September. It could be that the month that Lautaro puts on the Blaugrana shirt to share his days with Lionel Messi.

But for now he is dressed in blue and black, amid the leadership's attempts to retain him. And the fans look at him askance, believing that if he does not put it or "plays bad" it is because he has his head elsewhere, more precisely in a future far from the Lombard region. The missed penalty against Bologna in the 2-1 defeat was a great nuisance for the striker, and even more so for the fans.
On Twitter, they came to compare him to Mauro Icardi, whose departure was in other conditions. The man from Rosario had problems with his teammates and the coach of that time, Luciano Spalletti, decided not to put him on anymore. It was there that they decided to lend it to PSG, where he had a great performance in his first season (20 goals in 31 games and Ligue 1 champion) and was bought for 50 million euros.
In May 2019, something similar happened to Mauro to Lautaro. He missed a penalty against Empoli amid rumors announcing his departure and people booed when he was replaced. A year and coins later, the same happens with the Bull, and the fans in the networks could not avoid the comparison.
"Lautaro already has the Barcelona shirt. A new Icardi," wrote @ ManuelBianchi10 on the bird's social network. "Lautaro chose to go to Barcelona, let him go now. We don't need another Icardi. He has to go now," were the words of @ Antonior791. These and many more were the mentions that the striker had, who was not spared the wrong penalty against Bologna.
The situation of rigor di ieri tirato da #Lautaro mi has ricordato quello di #Icardi in # Inter-Empoli 2-1, latest giornata dell'anno scorso. L'ex capitano throws a rigor with mezza squadra che hates it and mezza typhoseria contro.
