⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Source : Lautaro Martínez

Even though Lautaro Martínez was linked with several popular clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus etc., finally Inter Milan officially extended his contract for 5 years with a total salary of around 45 million.
It is not surprising that Inter retained this reliable player because while he was at Inter, the player made a very good contribution and the Inter president became more confident after Martinez helped Argentina win the Coppa America title at that time.

The rumors linking Real Madrid with Martínez are absurd so I wouldn't believe them either. Inter needs Lautaro Martínez more than other clubs because he is a figure who has an important role in the main squad. The 2023/24 season with Inter managed to contribute 24 goals, therefore if Inter does not renew his contract then next season Serie A will be taken over by AC Milan or Juventus.

And Lautaro Martínez realizes that if he plays at another club like Madrid, the competition for the main squad will not be easy, so it would be better at Inter, where his position is definitely a core player. Maybe Juventus is also not a good choice, considering that Inter don't want their former important player to turn into an enemy next season.

I do agree that Morata is a great addition, feels like they have done something that will keep them going for a while. In the end we are talking about a position they were seriously lacking, Jovic seems like the only player left as true striker that may have played, not seeing anyone else, they had literally nobody left.

Morata seems like a perfect fit, plus he played at some big teams, and he scored some good amount of goals as well, he is looking like a good player in the end. I would guess that Milan looked for someone who had some experience, they do not like those 22 year future potential strikers, they are fine with that in other positions, but they like a bit of experience at striker position.
