"There is optimism from both sides, there is no lack of desire to continue cooperation, but it still takes time, it is normal that in such cases, when negotiations take place, time and calmness are needed". This is what Piero Ausilio, Inter's sporting director, said when asked about the possible renewal of Lautaro Martinez.
"Demi" has long since become the absolute leader of Inter, not just a captain. President Zhang has given the green light to the club leaders to do everything to keep the Argentine attacker in Milan. This is also confirmed by the latest offer that Ausilo made to Martinez's representatives: 8 million euros, plus bonuses.
Currently, Martinez benefits from 6 million euros, while Calhanoglu, just to make a comparison, benefits from 6.5 million euros. With this offer, Martinez would become the highest paid player in the team, but apparently even that is not enough as the "bull" demands 10 million euros. Inter's desire is to make an economic effort to meet the demands of the captain, this also for another reason.

La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that with the departure of Mbappe to Real Madrid, PSG has moved to find a replacement and Martinez could be the ideal profile. The French club would not have a problem spending 150 million euros to bring the Argentine closer. They are also ready to meet any economic request. To avoid any discussion, above all to drive away the rivals, the leaders of Inter seek to get the signature of Martinez in the summer.
