Former Racing coach Fabio Radaelli discussed Inter striker Lautaro Martinez, the rumours linking him with Barcelona and the criticisms about his poor form in an interview with Italian media outlet NerazzurriSiamoNoi.it

“I know him very well, I’m sure he has only one thing on his mind at the moment, scoring a lot of goals for Inter.”

He suggested that the 22-year-old Argentine striker hasn’t lost focus due to the interest of Barcelona. The Blaugrana are incredibly keen to sign the player but cannot afford his €111 million release clause.

“Lautaro isn’t thinking about Barcelona. There’s nothing to distract him now. Lautaro always has a way of showing he respects the role he has to play both on and off the pitch. Barça is interested in him and this news, given the importance of the club, resonates every day. But I repeat, since I know him, he only has Inter in his head.”

Finally, Radaelli spoke about how Lautaro could respond to the criticism that he has received recently. The player disappointed against Coppa Italia last weekend and looked invisible.

“Simple, by doing what he does best, which is to score several goals. Forwards are like that and Lautaro Martínez has always responded, he always wants to win and improve. One day, Lautaro will be the best forward in the world.”

Lautaro has made 32 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2508 minutes. In that time, he has scored 16 goals and provided four assists, forming a formidable partnership with Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. The 22-year-old hasn’t scored in his last five games and will be eager to net against Sampdoria this evening.

Inter athletic trainer Julio Tous left the Nerazzurri a few weeks ago due to disagreements with coach Antonio Conte, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The report details how the Spanish trainer, who specializes in gym work, left the Milanese club a few weeks ago, due to disagreements with Conte. The duo have worked together at both Juventus and Chelsea, and so his departure will have disappointed the Lecce born coach, who is know to have a fondness of working with a core group of staff.

Tous may look to join the Spanish national team, the report continues, and so now Inter will have to find a replacement. Athletic trainers are especially important at this stage of the season, as the Coronavirus stop has seen players remain essentially housebound for the last three months. The remaining 12 games of the season will be tough for all players.

Former Inter striker Ronaldo discussed ex-Nerazzurri striker and teammate Ivan Zamorano in an interview in a video conference organised by Santander earlier today, as reported by FcInterNews.

“For me Iván was the best Chilean in history. We were together for a long time at Inter and I can say that for me he was the best in the history of the country.”

Zamorano spent five years of his career with Inter, from 1996 to 2001. The Chilean forward made 150 appearances for the Milanese club in that time, for a total of 10312 minutes. In that time, he scored 41 goals and provided three assists, winning a UEFA Cup with the Nerazzurri in the 1997/98 season. He found more success at Real Madrid, scoring 97 times and assisting twice in 168 appearances for Los Blancos.

Ronaldo, who played alongside Zamorano for four years, made 98 appearances for Inter in his five years with the club from 1997 to 2002. In that time, he scored 59 goals and provided 11 assists, but struggled massively with serious knee injuries, failing to make a single appearance in the 2000/01 season for the Nerazzurri.

Inter striker Romelu Lukaku has the chance to break a 71-year Nerazzurri goal scoring record this season, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how the 27-year-old Belgian striker, who is contracted to the Milanese club until 2024, has scored 17 goals so far this season in Serie A, the most for a player in their debut season with Inter in the last 71 years. Former Inter striker Ronaldo only managed to net 16 times in his debut season with the Milanese club in the 1997/98 season.

Lukaku could steal the record this season, the report continues. He is only three league goals behind second place István Nyers who scored 20 and eight goals behind record holder Giuseppe Meazza, who netted 25 times in his debut season. Lukaku will need the help of both Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen and striking partner Lautaro Martinez if he is to break the 71-year standing record.

A report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport has highlighted how clinical Inter striker Romelu Lukaku is against smaller teams.

The report details how the 27-year-old Belgian forward, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2024, has been devastating against the smaller clubs in Serie A this season, helping the Milanese club to gain many vital points. Lukaku has scored against many smaller sides under coach Antonio Conte this season, netting against teams like Cagliari, Lecce, Sassuolo, Brescia, Bologna, Parma, Torino, Genoa and Udinese.

Lukaku has disappointed a little against the stronger teams in Italy, the report continues, and also struggled to find the back of the net in the Champions League as well, only scoring twice in five appearances in the competition. 8 of Inter’s next 12 league games are against smaller sides and so Lukaku has the chance to finish the season incredibly strongly, important considering the uncertain form of Lautaro Martinez.

Inter have made it clear to Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez that they expect the 22-year-old to stay focused and to finish the season strongly, despite the interest from Barcelona, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how the Blaugrana have been incredibly keen to sign the 22-year-old Argentine forward, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2023. The player has a release clause of €111 million, a figure that cannot be met by the Catalan side. Lautaro has been dreaming of a move to Spain for play for Barcelona, alongside friend and compatriot Lionel Messi, but has made it clear that he won’t force a move away this summer.

Lautaro has told Inter that he will fully focus on the end of the season and his mind is only on Inter, the report continues, and the Nerazzurri expect the same, especially considering that Manchester United owned forward Alexis Sanchez is hungry for regular playing time.

Barcelona may shift their focus from Inter’s Lautaro Martinez to Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar, according to a report from Spanish newspaper Sport.

The report details how the Blaugrana have been incredibly keen to sign the 22-year-old Argentine striker, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2023, as they believe he would be the perfect replacement for the aging Luis Suarez. The negotiations with Inter for Lautaro proved much tougher than the Catalan side expected, and they cannot afford to pay his €111 million release clause.

Considering that Inter are unwilling to give a discount on the 22-year-old, Barcelona may decide to shift their focus to a different star, the report continues. The Catalan side have also been interested in signing 28-year-old Brazilian forward Neymar. The star left Barcelona to join the French club in 2017 but could return in the summer, to reunite with friend Lionel Messi. Neymar has scored 18 goals and provided 10 assists in 22 appearances for PSG this season.

Inter coach Antonio Conte is counting on Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku and Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez to guide the Nerazzurri to a win tonight against Sampdoria, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how the former Manchester United striker has impressed in his debut season in Italy, but needs to remain in top form for the final 12 games of the season. Lukaku, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2024, has made 36 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2994 minutes. In that time, he has scored 23 goals and provided five assists, perfectly realizing the game plan of the Lecce born coach.

The pressure is on for Lautaro to impress tonight against the Ligurian side, the report continues. The 22-year-old Argentine forward disappointed against Napoli last weekend, with rumours suggesting that the player’s head had been turned by the interest of Barcelona. Lautaro will need to remain focused in the remaining games of the season, regardless of whether he joins the Blaugrana or not.
