The captain of Inter, present at the &#8220;Gran Gala del Calcio,&#8221; stopped by the microphones of &#8220;Sky Italia&#8221; and did not avoid commenting on the transfer rumors that had linked him with Barcelona after the collapse of the possible signing of Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez by the Catalan club.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">&#8220;When these offers and calls come in, it is always a pleasure, because you work to stay at the top. The rumors were true, but I am very clear about my ideas: I wanted to stay here with my teammates and with these magnificent fans. I would stay forever and, as long as they want me, I will stay here. But in this job we already know how it is: when you are no longer useful, they throw you out. Inter means everything to me: pride, happiness, and the desire to keep moving forward. I have chosen to stay here again, I want to do great things at Inter,&#8221; were his words when asked about those &#8220;transfer market&#8221; rumors.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to stay here with my teammates and with these magnificent fans.<\/p>\n<p>Lautaro Mart\u00ednez<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">At 29 years old, &#8220;Lauti&#8221; comes from being runner-up in the World Cup with Argentina, winning another &#8220;Scudetto&#8221; with Inter as captain, and scoring 22 goals across all competitions last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I decided to stay because I feel good and I want to do great things at Inter<\/p>\n<p>Lautaro Mart\u00ednez<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">&#8220;I never imagined reaching this point in my career with Inter, achieving all my goals. This motivates me to keep moving forward; it&#8217;s my mentality. I try to give my all in every training session. In football, you never know what is going to happen, but today I have a contract and I am happy. I decided to stay because I feel good and I want to achieve great things at Inter,&#8221; the Argentine added.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">His link with the Lombard club runs until June 2029 and Inter has already made it clear that they do not want to lose their captain at any cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time since the transfer windowclosed, Lautaro Mart\u00ednez has spoken to the press.
