Congratulations to Inter Milan, with an annual salary of 18 million, Zhang Kangyang locked Lautaro, and the 6 major strikers sprinted to the Champions League
According to Sport, Inter Milan have agreed a five-year contract with Lautaro with an annual salary of 9 million euros after tax, and the new contract expires in 2029, when Lautaro will also reach the age of 32, almost certain that his prime years will be spent in Meazza. Now, just wait for the end of April, Inter President Zhang Kangyang will return to Italy from China, and the two sides will officially sign the agreement.
The 26-year-old joined Inter Milan in 2018 and has been playing for the Italian giants for six years, making 275 appearances, scoring 128 goals and providing 41 assists.
When Inter bought Lautaro from Athletic, it only cost 25 million euros, and now his value in Germany has reached 110 million euros, and he is a well-deserved world-class center forward. At Inter, who won the captain's armband last year, he is expected to win the Serie A title for Inter this season, and in Argentina he is also the third active goalscorer behind Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, scoring 22 goals in 47 appearances.
In fact, Inter Milan and Lautaro's contract has more than 2 years to expire, and the reason why the club chose to renew his contract early is because after becoming the captain, Lautaro has won the full recognition of the club in terms of his performance on the field (26 goals in 37 games) and his off-field leadership style, so he took the initiative to raise his salary, hoping to join hands with the Argentine. Although Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League, Barcelona in La Liga, and Real Madrid have all been interested in signing Lautaro, Inter Milan have all chosen to refuse, they understand that selling the Argentine can get hundreds of millions of transfer fees, but they also understand that as an ambitious Serie A giant, a leader like Lautaro is a necessity.
After keeping Lautaro, Inter's forward line next season will be further clarified, and they will form a six-man forward line that combines the old, middle and young to deal with next season's six-line operation, including the Club World Cup.
Leaving is Chilean veteran Alexis Sanchez, a veteran footballer who will turn 36 this year, and both his age and his lackluster performances this year (3 goals in 26 games) have made Inter determined not to keep him, so Inter will not renew his contract when his contract expires this season.
One of the 2.5 strikers has been identified, that is, Porta's striker Taremi, who has signed a 2+1 deal with Inter Milan during the winter break, the 31-year-old Iranian striker, together with the 35-year-old Arnautovic, will support Inter Milan in the front line and increase the depth of the team.
Another goalscorer, Inter Milan are choosing between Napoli striker Raspadori and Genoa striker Grazwisson. The latter has reached career heights for both club and country this season, scoring four goals in his last three games and is in red-hot form. Genoa's claim for at least €30 million in cash is a problem for Inter.
The former is relatively low, Napoli is likely to only ask for 20 million to 25 million euros to sell the rotation player, and his status as an Italian international will also make it easy for him to integrate into Inter Milan, which has many Italian internationals, and at present, Raspadori has more hope of joining. They will provide Inter with pace and goals.
The last striker is Argentina's new international Carboni, the 19-year-old who has just made his international debut, and Inter have decided to recall him for the new season to play as the last substitute in the front line and midfield. What Carboni can offer Inter is potential and talent.
Next season, Inter will have a 6-man luxury forward led by Lautaro, 2 old, 3 in 1 young, such an age structure, which is enough for Inter to cope with the 6-line battle, obviously, after winning the Serie A title this season, this Inter Milan has only one goal, that is, the Champions League.
