Lautaro Martinez provides contract update after Interโ€™s win over Udinese: โ€œIt wonโ€™t be longโ€

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has spoken out over his ongoing negotiations with the club, on the back of the Nerazzurriโ€™s latest dominant victory.

Inter of course marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming Udinese to San Siro.

Simone Inzaghiโ€™s troops headed into proceedings in the knowledge that nothing but a three-point haul would suffice, after being replaced atop the Serie A table by arch rivals Juventus.

And, when all was said and done, march on to another win is precisely what the eveningโ€™s hosts managed.

A dominant display ultimately gave rise to a 4-0 result, with the aforementioned Martinez having rounded out the scoring with his 14th of the season late on.

Speaking to the media post-match, the Argentine was in turn drawn on his future once more.

This comes amid ongoing negotiations between Inter and his representatives, over a new long-term contract.

And Martinez went on to confirm that discussions are nearing a conclusion, with the frontman confident that โ€˜it wonโ€™t be longโ€™ before an announcement is forthcoming:ย 

โ€œI hope soon,โ€ he explained to DAZN, as cited by TuttomercatoWeb. โ€œI donโ€™t know if it will arrive by Christmas but it wonโ€™t be long.โ€
