Inter CEO Beppe Marotta expects new Martinez contract amidst Tottenham interest

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is expecting the club to tie down Lautaro Martinez to a new contract soon, despite interest from Premier League side Tottenham.

This comes from the print edition of La Repubblica, who claim that Marotta isnโ€™t going to accept the idea of the club losing a star player following the sales of Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku. While Interโ€™s havenโ€™t been succeeding in handing the Argentine a new deal, the clubโ€™s CEO expects to be able to renew the contract soon.

While it wonโ€™t mean that Martinez will stay at Inter in the long-term because of the Nerazzurriโ€™s financial issues, his stay this summer will allow Inter some comfort in the striker department especially since Simone Inzaghi wants to replace Lukaku with two players instead of one. Martinezโ€™s stay will provide them with some form of stability up front.
