Alejandro Camano, the agent of Lautaro Martinez, commented on the interest from Bayern Munich and his client’s goals with Inter.
The 25-year-old Argentinian forward started the season well under Simone Inzaghi but has since struggled to find the back of the net, remaining goalless in the Nerazzurri’s last seven games across Serie A and the Champions League. The return of Romelu Lukaku will be key for both Lautaro and Inter, giving the 25-year-old a strong partner up front again.
Speaking to TyC Sports, Camano first discussed how Lautaro feels in the run-up to the World Cup in Qatar.
“He started the year with a beautiful project, with an Inter team that was built in a powerful way. And the truth is that winning the World Cup would be the icing on the cake for him.”
He gave his thoughts on Argentina’s chances at the upcoming World Cup.
“Not only are Argentina a candidate, but those of us who know Lionel Scaloni know that he has the same leadership mentality he had when he played. I haven’t spoken to him in a while, but I know him from his time in Spain and he already had that leadership.
“Lautaro’s hope is the same as the others. They want to make people happy. Winning a World Cup is not easy, but the team is ready to achieve this goal.”
The agent touched on Lautaro’s goals amid various transfer market rumours.
“Lautaro is among the top 10 players in the world and although I have received many calls, he has two priorities by the end of the year: Inter and the national team.
“He is mature, with a beautiful family that accompanies him, with an atmosphere of tranquillity that is always important. He feels loved by Italians and Argentinians.”
He spoke further about the interest from Bayern Munich and if it was serious.
“I wouldn’t be surprised because, as I said, there are always requests. But today Lautaro has very clear ideas.
“He thinks about Inter and the World Cup. In the last transfer window there were chances to leave for impressive sums but he realised it was better not to change.”
Finally, Camano commented on if Lautaro will look to leave Inter in the future.
“Anything can happen in the future. Inter are not in the best moment, but they’re a great team and a wonderful place.
“No one rules out other clubs appearing strongly on the market for him, but he is in no hurry and lets football take its course.”
