In a pre-match interview ahead of the highly anticipated showdown between Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, CEO of the Nerazzurri, Giuseppe Marotta, shed light on recent developments regarding the potential contract renewal of Lautaro Martinez:
“There is the will of both parties to continue the existing relationship, and this bodes well for the future. Lautaro is loved by the fans, he is our captain, he loves being at Inter, I believe there won’t be any problems, except those of giving priority to the imminent goals that await us. It’s just a matter of addressing the issues with the right calmness,” Marotta stated.
Marotta also discussed the team’s ambitions in the Champions League, emphasizing the importance of pursuing success in such a high-level competition. “It’s logical that a club like Inter must participate in various competitions with the aim of advancing as much as possible. Today’s match is a tough one; we know how Atletico plays at home, but I am optimistic that we can play a good game,” he affirmed.
Finally, the Nerazzurri executive reiterated the club’s commitment on multiple fronts, highlighting the dual challenge that Inter is facing both in the league and in the Champions League. “Today we are engaged on two important fronts, two high-level competitions: we seek to maximize the final result, something we have foreseen since the beginning of the season,” Marotta concluded.
