In the past few years, there have been repeated rumors about Inter striker Lautaro Martinez (25). Barcelona? Bayern Munich? The Premier League? Nothing like that, Martinez extended his contract in Italy until 2026 a year ago.

How important the Argentine is for Inter has already been shown in his five years in Milan. Not only, but also because of him, Inter was able to win the “Scudetto” again in 2021 after ten years. Martinez scored 17 times that season in Serie A, 21 times the year after and more than ten goals this year.

Martinez wants to be a figurehead

In the game against Cremonese at the bottom on Saturday, he scored twice (21st/65th) and with his tenth and eleventh goals this season, he single-handedly secured the 2-1 win against Cremonese, in which the Swiss Charles Pickel was suspended with a yellow card.

More international football

Despite the three points and another Super Martinez, Inter’s chances of the next “Scudetto” after 2021 are bad: the second-placed team is already ten points behind leaders Napoli.

But for the tireless Martinez, that’s no reason to bury his head in the sand. He doesn’t think about saying goodbye, as he recently reported to “Sky Italia”. Instead, he still has big plans. “I want to be an Inter legend,” says the world champion. (par)
