Lautaro Martínez, the Argentine forward, has officially agreed to a new contract with Inter Milan, extending his stay until 2029. This development was confirmed by his agent, Beto Yaque, who stated that an agreement in principle has been reached. Notably, the new contract does not include a release clause.
Contract Details and Negotiations
The negotiation process for Martínez’s contract extension has been ongoing, with multiple confirmations from both his agent and Inter Milan’s management over the past months. Inter Milan’s CEO, Giuseppe Marotta, had previously indicated a strong desire to keep Martínez at the club, highlighting the importance of his role in the team’s strategy.
According to Beto Yaque, speaking to @clmerlo, “Yes, we’ve now reached an agreement in principle for Lautaro’s new contract.” This statement puts an end to the speculation surrounding the future of the 27-year-old striker at Inter Milan.
Implications of the No Release Clause
The absence of a release clause in Martínez’s new contract signifies a strong mutual commitment between the player and the club. This arrangement ensures that any future transfer would require negotiations directly with Inter Milan, potentially increasing the club’s leverage in any such discussions.
Martínez has been a key player for Inter Milan, contributing significantly to their attacking capabilities. His continued presence is expected to be a major boost for the team as they compete in both domestic and European competitions.
