Inter has sent a clear signal to Lautaro Martinez. Cristian Chivu started him against Monza despite his physical condition not yet being optimal, a deliberate choice to help him turn the page after the disappointment of the World Cup. This technical gesture was accompanied by statements from Beppe Marotta before the match.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Nerazzurri president firmly dismissed transfer rumors: Lautaro is considered non-transferable under any circumstances, especially just ten days before the end of the transfer window. The Argentine captain responded on the pitch with the grit that distinguishes him.

Now the striker aims to improve his physical condition to be at his best in two weeks, when Napoli will come to Milan. In the meantime, the Toro should also be confirmed in the starting lineup for the away match against Cagliari.
