Lautaro Martinez on the market? Here’s where the offer for the Inter captain came from.
According to reports from England, specifically from HITC, Chelsea had made an approach to Inter Milan for Lautaro Martinez when there seemed to be a stall in his contract renewal before the agreement was reached until 30 June 2029.
“The Blues identified Lautaro Martinez as a key target during the contract stalemate,” a source close to HITC stated.
This move by the London club came amid uncertainty over Martinez’s future at the Serie A giants, as fans and pundits speculated about his next potential destination.
The latest contract extension has put an end to the rumours, but Chelsea’s interest highlights the Argentine forward’s high demand in the current market.
As the new deal with Inter has now been signed, Martinez remains a central figure for the Nerazzurri. His renewal signals the club’s intent to build their future around him, despite significant interest from top European clubs.
