A blow to Tottenham and Chelsea
Lautaro Martinez is “happy” at Inter and the idea of leaving “does not make sense”, according to the player’s agenda. The Argentine was considered by Chelsea as he considered whether or not he would ask for players in exchange for a deal to send Romelu Lukaku back to the Serie A giants on loan. Martinez created a productive partnership with the Belgian during the 2020/21 season, as Inter won their first league title in 11 years under Antonio Conte. In the absence of Lukaku last time, the 24-year-old continued to impress, scoring 24 goals as the Nerazzurri lost their crown from rival AC Milan, with only Ciro Immobile improving his goal tally to 21.
