To confront Haaland, the millions that United plans to pay for Lautaro Martínez

Lautaro Martínez is one of the players who best represents Argentine football abroad. Being captain and figure of Inter Milan, the player who emerged from Racing Club shines in the Italian league, one of the most competitive in the world. The 'Toro' also claims to be part of the Argentine National Team, the team with which he managed to win the World Cup in Qatar 2022. After that historic conquest, Lautaro led Inter to the final of the Champions League last year.

In the final the Neroazzurro team was narrowly defeated by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. However, Inter will never forget the semi-finals of that tournament, since in that instance they eliminated Milan. At 26 years old, 'Toro', in addition to being the captain, is the great figure of Inter.

With the number 10 on his back, Martínez is the main attacking card of the team led by Simone Inzaghi. In addition to the great consideration that the Italian coach has for the Bahia Blanca attacker, the same thing happens in the Argentine National Team with Lionel Scaloni. Although Lautaro is going through a bad streak with the Albiceleste jacket, the D.T. continues to take him into account. It should be noted that Martínez's work is not only based on scoring goals, since it is usually an important factor for the team when it comes to putting pressure on the rival.

Already established as an Inter star, he could have had another destiny in Europe, when he was sold from Racing. The Neroazzurro sports director, Piero Ausilio, revealed that the 'Toro' was one step away from arriving at Atlético de Madrid. “I can reveal that Lautaro Martínez was a new Atlético de Madrid player in 2018", said the leader on Radio TV Serie A.

The millions that United would put in

In the last few hours, journalist Ekrem Konur revealed that Arsenal and Chelsea are analyzing incorporating Lautaro Martínez in January 2024. However, another Premier League club that has had an interest for a long time is Manchester United. At the time, Football Insider reported that the Red Devils are willing to pay around €80 million for the centre-forward. Martínez could start a great rivalry with Erling Haaland, star and scorer of Manchester City, his lifelong rival.
