Marotta silences the rumors that originated in Barcelona, but the truth is that an offer hadn’t even arrived and that in any case the Argentine is considered untransferable.
No thefts at the end of the market and no departments to rebuild. Lautaro Martinez is not moving from Milan, he remains at Inter who officially remove him from the negotiations, assuming he ever entered into it given that the rumors of a pressing came only from Barcelona and were not even accompanied by a real offer. In short, we talked about nothing. Like other times in the past with the exception of 2021 when the Argentine was actually close to moving to La Liga at the court of Leo Messi.
It’s true that Chivu’s statements on the eve of his championship debut were just enough to keep the mystery alive, but the reality is different and the clarity with which Inter closed down any possibility of a transfer is such as to suggest that it won’t be discussed again between now and the end of the session. The word ‘stop’ to the allegations and speculation was put by the president of the club, Beppe Marotta: “Lautaro is our captain, he represents the current history of Inter. And therefore I can make it clear that there are absolutely no conditions for him to leave Inter, we don’t want to give up Lautaro in any way or for anything. It shouldn’t even be talked about.”
End of the discussion, accompanied by the ownership that the Nerazzurri captain took in the match against Monza despite having arrived after all his teammates at the summer training camp. Lautaro Martinez, fresh from the World Cup final lost to his Argentina, worked for about ten days, no more, but as always he preferred to be on the pitch and Chivu believed the conditions were there to satisfy him by immediately handing him the center of the attack alongside Pio Esposito.
A way, also, to further reiterate that Inter do not intend to do without Martinez (third scorer in Nerazzurri history) and that they will not do so. Barcelona are desperately looking for a striker for the season, they have seen their offers for Julian Alvarez rejected and now they know they can’t even get close to the Nerazzurri Toro. Hansi Flick Problems. Chivu solved his problems at the root.
