On TV, it seems that Inter Milan and Lautaro Martinez‘s contract renewal is the easiest thing on the planet. Both parties are thrilled to be with each other and it‘s just a matter of hours, if not minutes, when the deal will be struck. And yet, it seems that on paper, things are not so close, on the contrary. As the Italian papers write, the difference between the parties in huge, when it comes to money. Inter‘s CEO Beppe Marotta is full of praise for the Argentinian striker.Leading goal scorers in Europe’s top leagues:🏴 Premier League: Erling Haaland (18)🇫🇷 Ligue 1: Kylian Mbappe (24)🇮🇹 Serie A: Lautaro Martinez (23)🇪🇸 La Liga: Jude Bellingham (16)🇩🇪Bundesliga: Harry Kane (31)🇳🇱Eredivisie: Vangelis Pavlidis (23) pic.twitter.com/mHSuF0TZJx— Stats24 (@_Stats24) March 24, 2024 “There is no worry, Lautaro has a great sense of belonging and this will facilitate the extension, there is no rush” he said on numerous occasions and he is right. The player enjoys the club and the city and is fully integrated. Even his contract is not up next season, but in 2026, so there is time. On the other hand is his agent, who believes that now is time for Inter to pay up.Lautaro’s agent compares him to Mbappe and Haaland“If for the whole world he is comparable to a Haaland, an Mbappé, to players of the highest international level, we must start from here. You know, in Italy there are footballers who earn more and have done less. I will have to address all these issues with Inter when we see each other“ he said recently.Former Inter Milan starlet admits he hit rock bottom: “I am a recovering addict”So, he decided to act accordingly. As Corriere Della Sera writes, Inter have reached a proposal which has a fixed base of 8.5 million euros and bonuses which are connected to the certain team objectives which, if fulfilled, would give additional revenue. But, Lautaro‘s agent is staying true to his word and is asking for top money. His three-year deal for Martinez should be a wage of 12 million euros in the first year, 14 in the second and 16 million in his last year of contract! There will be no sellout clause in the contract, as Inter doesn‘t want to sell the player, he is untouchable, just like Nicolo Barella. So, for the moment, there is no way that Nerrazurri will pay that much money for Lautaro, but luckily, there is not tame frame to do the deal, at least this season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8136613##
