‘Martinez chose Inter’

Racing Club’s President explains they rejected a higher offer for Lautaro Martinez, because the striker chose Inter – “we followed his will”.

The striker will join the Nerazzurri in the summer for a fee of around €27m, but Borussia Dortmund had offered €32.5m with a last-ditch bid.

“We’re satisfied, we’ve completed a very important deal,” Victor Blanco told calciomercato.com.
