Racing: 'Lautaro sold to Inter'

By Football Italia staff

Lautaro Martinez “has already been sold to Inter,” confirmed Racing Club President Victor Blanco, but they'll negotiate to keep him until December.

The deal was struck several weeks ago for €25m plus 10 per cent of any future sale, a remarkably low sum considering the 20-year-old has now scored 15 goals plus five assists in 22 competitive games this season.

He lit up the Copa Libertadores with five goals in as many matches.

“The player has already been sold to Inter, so the paperwork for his transfer to the Nerazzurri from June have already been signed. I don’t want to create false expectations among our fans,” Racing Club President Blanco told Radio El Mundo.

“We will go to Italy to negotiate keeping him here at least until December on loan, but what the player wants will be a very important factor.”
