According to the Italian media Milan Sport, Inter Milan has officially confirmed that they will renew the contract of the team's striker Lautaroma Martinez in the future. This has become the second most important thing for Inter Milan at present, in addition to the negotiation of the sale of the team. As the heart of the team's forward line and the biggest star in the team, Lautaro's importance to the Nerazzurri cannot be overstated.
Prior to this, Lautaro's team had already made several contacts with the Inter management, and the player himself was willing to renew his contract with the team, but the two sides had not been able to agree on the salary. Previously, Inter Milan's top management tried to reduce the price, saying that they could only give the player a salary of up to 8 million euros, but the player refused. Lautaro wants an annual salary of at least 9 million euros, and the two sides have been tugging for almost a month. In a way, Inter certainly want to keep the Argentine striker with a high salary, after all, his position in the team is too crucial.
However, since Lautaro is not able to take advantage of the new tax law, Inter will have to pay 17 million euros before tax to give him a salary of 9 million euros, which is very troublesome for them. However, in the end, the Inter hierarchy chose to compromise, as two Premier League teams contacted the player himself during the negotiations between Lautaro and Inter. And it seems that the salary is much better than Inter, which makes the Nerazzurri feel the pressure. In case the Argentine striker is poached because of the price difference of 1 million euros, it will be worth the loss. It can be said that many stars in the whole team have the possibility of being sold, but Lautaro cannot be sold.
As the team's central striker and top star, Lautaro has always been able to keep the team at the bottom line. Once he is taken away, if the new striker does not fill the vacancy, it will only be a matter of time before Inter collapses. And in order to remain competitive for the next few seasons, the Nerazzurri are ready to keep it. And they decisively agreed to the player's request for a salary increase. According to the Milan Sports Newspaper, Inter Milan will officially announce the renewal of the contract with the Argentine striker after playing AC Milan in the next round.
The contract will be renewed until 2029, and Lautaro will receive an annual salary of 9 million euros after taxes. This makes him surpass Juventus' Vlahovic and Roma's Romelu Lukaku as the highest-paid player in Serie A at this stage. It can be said that Inter Milan has shown the greatest sincerity at present in order to renew the Argentine striker. They have given the highest annual salary within their ability. For Lautaro, it is understandable that he wants a big contract at his prime, and the salary of 9 million euros is not too high for the superstars of the entire football world.
The reason why it seems so large in Serie A is mainly because the current financial situation of Serie A teams is generally not optimistic. And Lautaro did receive a salary offer of more than 10 million from Premier League teams, but the player still gave priority to renewing his contract with Inter. It shows his affection for this club, and in a way it is worth it for Inter Milan to choose to keep him at the top salary. After all, in recent years, there have been many examples of Serie A stars choosing to leave because of salary problems. AC Milan alone have examples like Donnarumma in the past. And it is also reported that the current main goalkeeper of their team, Maignan also fell out with the team because of salary issues, and he may also choose to leave Serie A to chase a high salary.
It can be said that this is a common phenomenon in Serie A teams now, with the main salary of the team not high, and the team is indeed unable to meet the asking price of their contract, which eventually leads to awkward disputes between players and clubs, and they go to other leagues. The loss of stars has made it very difficult for the major giants of Serie A. And Inter Milan has done one of the better, and they were able to withstand the financial pressure and come up with the maximum salary to renew Lautaro's contract, which can be regarded as showing their attitude. From this point of view, Inter Milan is indeed the best team in Serie A at the moment. What do you think about this?
