Racing Club President Victor Blanco: “Inter’s Lautaro Martinez Is Worth More Than €111M Release Clause”

In an interview with Italian news outlet FCInter1908.it, Racing Club president Victor Blanco has shared his belief that Inter striker Lautaro Martinez is worth more than the release clause in his current contract amid continued links to Barcelona.

“I am kept informed by those who are at his side but it is up to him to make a decision, we want the best for him. If Messi wants him it is very difficult to say no because Lautaro has great admiration for him,” he began the interview.

“There are great players in the Inter squad but he has become an indisputable starter. He is a world class player and among the top 10 in world for his quality and age. I believe he is worth more than his €111 million release clause.”

Blanco was then asked if Racing Club are hoping for him to make any particular decision given they could pocket close to €10 million if his release clause is triggered.

“We will be very respectful of the decision that he and his family will make. It is a personal matter that he must try to solve in the best way as he has done with all the decisions he has made in his short career. ”

He then cast his mind back to recall Lautaro’s transfer to Inter back in the Summer of 2018 with Inter pipping a series of other clubs to his signature.

“There was a lot of competition and a war between various clubs in Europe. He left negotiations in the hands of his agent and us at Racing, he trusted us.

“During the negotiations he came to me and told me to try and do a deal with Inter as he was convinced it was the best option for him.”

Since Lautaro’s arrival at Inter, he has went on to make 66 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 25 goals and tallied five assists for his teammates.

31 of those appearances have come during the course of this season in which he has scored 16 goals and provided a total of four assists.

Ionut Radu No Longer The Favorite To Become Samir Handanovic’s Back Up At Inter

Ionut Andrei Radu is no longer one of the front runners to become back up goalkeeper to Samir Handanovic at Inter starting from next season according to a report from Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

The Romanian shot stopper was initially seen as the front runner to be deployed as Handanovic’s deputy but Inter have other ideas for the position.

The report goes on to explain that the race is now between Udinese’s Juan Musso, Atalanta’s Pierluigi Gollini and Parma’s Luigi Sepe.

It now remains to be seen what will happen with Radu, who is currently out on loan at fellow Serie A club Parma.

Radu joined Parma on loan for the second half of the season but did not make any appearances for them prior to football being brought to a halt due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Radu spent the first half of the season out on loan at Genoa and during his spell with the Rossoblu club he made 19 appearances across all competitions.

Valentino Lazaro More Likely To Return To Inter Than Stay With Newcastle United

Valentino Lazaro is more likely to return to Inter rather than join Newcastle United on a permanent basis according to a report from Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.com.

Lazaro joined the Premier League side on loan for the remainder of this season back in January with Newcastle United obtaining an option to buy him permanently for around €20 million.

Due to the Coronavirus crisis Lazaro has not played many games since his arrival at St James’ Park but in his five appearances for the Mapgies he has scored a single goal.

The report goes on to claim that Inter have already developed a strategy that is mutual beneficial for themselves and the Austrian national team full back.

Lazaro joined Inter in a circa €20 million deal from Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin this past Summer but struggled to cement a place in Antonio Conte’s team. He made 11 appearances for Inter, in which he tallied two assists.

Italian Media Reports Inter Have Taken No Steps Whatsoever Towards Resigning Man City’s Joao Cancelo

There is not even the slightest of margins for Joao Cancelo to make a return to Inter according to a report from Italian football journalist and transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla.

Reports in the media in the past few days have suggested that Inter could bring in the Portuguese national team defender with funds raised through the possible sale of Lautaro Martinez to Barcelona.

However, as per a report which was published on Pedulla’s eponymous website, Inter have not taken any steps whatsoever toward bringing the current Manchester City defender back to the club who he spent the 2017/18 season on loan at from then employers Valencia.

At best he may have been offered to Inter via an intermediary but Inter have no interest in taking things any further and consider it a closed chapter.

This season the 25-year-old, who has a contract with the Premier League side until 2025, has made 24 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored one goal and provided a single assist too.
