Inter CEO Beppe Marotta says he’s “very optimistic” Lautaro Martinez will be playing for the club next season despite intense speculation regarding a move to Barcelona.
Reports have suggested Martinez is keen to move to Barca to link up with Lionel Messi, but Marotta says the 22-year-old has not asked to leave the San Siro.
The Inter chief also sounded very confident the Nerazzurri will be able to hang on to their striker this summer and reiterated how they are not really interested in selling.
“Lautaro Martinez is the focus of other clubs’ attention on the transfer market, everyone knows this,” he said.
