Lautaro Martinez, the captain of Inter, thinks that Kristjan Asllani is the player of the future for the black and white. In a recent interview, the Argentine revealed the conversation at the beginning of the season with the midfielder of the national team of Albania, giving him a very valuable advice.
"The title? It is a pleasure that lasts a lifetime. Inter is my home, that's how I felt from the first day in Milan. I owe everything to the black community and fans, lifting the trophy as captain was extraordinary. I told the team from the beginning that a captain needs everyone, and they have always supported me.
An example? At the beginning of the season, I spoke with Asllan and told him that he should "liven up" a bit, do more. He didn't speak to me for a few days, but then he thanked me, he has everything to be the player of the future".
On the other hand, the striker says that there will be no surprises for the future of Lautaro Martinez. It is the Argentine himself, who once again emphasizes that he is very close to the agreement to renew the contract with the black and white, and is even thinking about the next target. According to him, now Inter is forced to think about winning the Champions League.
"I am very close to the chord, only a few small things are missing. This situation that the club is going through may delay it a little, but there is no problem. The objectives? I don't want to choose between several objectives, but I think the next step is the Champions League. It was a dream to be so close in Istanbul, while this season the match with Atletico Madrid has remained "hostage" for me.
I would like to replay the second match in Spain again. If we had used the chances and scored more, the story would have been different".
Meanwhile, Lautaro reveals that he has had no contact with Romelu Lukaku since last summer.
"I didn't talk to Lukaku anymore, he didn't answer me and for me everything ended there. Am I at the level of Mbappe and Haaland? Yes, the numbers and the trophies say so. They have nothing to envy."
