Toro ready to say yes to the club’s contract extension proposal until 2028. There will be an adjustment to the salary, player is expected to recieve higher wages.
Lautaro Martinez, a symbol of Inter, perhaps in ‘nerazzurro‘ for life. Il “Toro” is the emblem of this team, the captain, the goal scorer, the idol of the fans, and in these years, Milan has also become his home, just as it was with Javier Zanetti, who was instrumental in bringing him to Italy in 2018 from Racing.
Lautaro has demonstrated an ever-growing attachment to the shirt, and his desire, as repeatedly stated, is to stay in black and blue for a long time. That’s why, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club’s intention is to extend his contract until 2028 by the end of the season.
The current contract of the Argentine striker expires in 2026, so there’s no rush. Certainly, the club will want to discuss the renewals of Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, and Dumfries first, whose contracts are closer to expiration. Still, there is also a desire to secure Lautaro’s future, who, after the match against Real Sociedad, has already shown his interest in renewal: “Renewal is a topic that interests me.”
There are also the summer statements from Lautaro’s agent, Alejandro Camano, who, without rushing Inter, has repeatedly asked for “the recognition he deserves” for Lautaro, which translates to an upward adjustment in his salary compared to the last agreement signed in October two years ago (6 million plus bonuses).
It’s still too early to talk about numbers, but after the initial positive approaches with the agent, Inter will delve further into negotiations in the coming months, including discussing an extension of the contract, which should be set until 2028.
2018-2028 would mark ten years with Inter, just like the last Nerazzurri captain before Lautaro, Samir Handanovic.
