Inter Milan Makes Lautaro Martinez The Player With The Highest Salary In Italy

JAKARTA - Inter Milan immediately renewed the contract of striker Lautaro Martinez. Inter want to tie the captain to the highest salary in the Italian Series A.

Martinez had previously submitted a request regarding his contract extension. This includes the desire for his salary to be raised given El Toro's contribution and role in Inter.

Ya, Martinez bergabung dengan Inter sejak 2018. Sejak itu, dirinya tak meninggalkan Nerazzurri. Bahkan saat penyerang timnas Argentina ini menjadi target Barcelona.

Although hoping to move to Barca, Martinez handed over his future to Inter. The club indeed rejected Barca's offer by asking for a high price. In the aftermath, Barca, who did not have the money, failed to propose to this 26-year-old player.

For five years with Inter, Martinez has won the Scudetto, twice the Coppa Italia and twice the Italiana Supercoppa.

Martinez's success and loyalty made Inter renew their contract. Moreover, coach Simone Inzaghi also handed over the captain's armband to him.

Martinez's contract at Inter is still long or only expires in 2026. However, the club has planned to renew the contract as well as the value of Martinez's salary and bonuses.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Martinez will receive a salary of 7 million euros or 115 billion rupiah per year. The offer even exceeded Martinez's request for a salary of only 6.5 million euros.

With such a salary, Martinez will be the highest-paid player in Serie A. If approved, the salary paid by Inter will exceed the salary cap from the club. Previously, the club had limited the player's salary to no more than 6 million euros.

However, this rule will be changed in order to meet Martinez's salary, which is the team's main pillar. He also played a role in leading Inte to the top of the season.
