Inter Milan is scheduled to engage in contract discussions with their captain and top scorer, Lautaro Martinez, during their stay in Madrid for the upcoming Champions League round of 16 second leg match against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening, as reported on Tuesday morning. According to sources cited by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Alejandro Camano, the agent representing Martinez, is anticipated to convene with Inter officials in the Spanish capital later this week.
Reports from Tuesday indicate mutual interest from both Inter and Martinez in extending the player’s contract, albeit specific terms such as salary and duration remain undetermined at this stage.
Martinez’s existing contract is valid until 2026, indicating no immediate urgency for renewal; however, the club aims to secure the future of their prized striker in a timely manner.
According to La Gazzetta, Inter is prepared to propose a contract valued at €8 million annually, alongside additional performance-based bonuses. Nevertheless, Martinez is advocating for a higher figure closer to €10 million.
The inclusion of bonuses is poised to be a pivotal aspect of the negotiations, with the potential for Martinez to become the highest-earning player in Serie A if certain performance targets are met.
