Lautaro Martínez is set to renew his contract with Inter.
Martínez will be staying with the club. Inter vice president Javier Zanetti was speaking on Radio Serie A where he stated the following:
“We will 100% renew Lautaro and Barella. Both only want to continue here.”
The 26 year old joined Inter in 2018 from Racing and has scored over 150 goals for the new Serie A champions.
Santiago Hezze scored for Olympiacos in their 4-2 away win vs. Aston Villa in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League semifinals.
With the Greek team leading 3-2, the 22-year-old Argentine midfielder shot powerfully with his right leg from outside the box, and after a deflection, the ball ended up in the back of the net, making it 4-2 for his team.
The former Vélez Sarsfield left-back, Francisco Ortega, started for Olympiacos but had to leave the pitch injured at the end of the first half.
Emiliano Martínez didn’t play for Aston Villa because he was suspended due to the number of yellow cards he received in the competition. Dibu is expected to start for the Villians in the second leg.
