In addition, Inter also do not want to lose the striker for free next year.

His current contract expires in 2022. There are rumors that Lautaro Martinez will be sold so the club can escape the financial crisis they are currently experiencing.

However, this does not seem to be a problem for Inter anymore. They realized that if they did sell Lautaro Martinez it would infuriate coach Simone Inzaghi and other key members of the squad. One of them is Lukaku.

However, Lautaro Martinez's contract extension agreement is unlikely to be reached soon. The reason, the striker is still focused on defending Argentina in the Copa America.
