Lautaro Martinez, after Romelu Lukaku left for Chelsea, he became Inter’s big bet on offense; something that was demonstrated with the renewal of his contract until 2026 (he now receives about 6 million euros net per season). However, your present in the Nerazzurro not the best.

The local press puts him as one of the main culprits of the scoring drought that crosses the set commanded by those of Simone Inzaghi. The last Serie A champion has gone four games without scoring (losses to Liverpool and Sassuolo and draws against Genoa and Milan). In this way they drag a total of 403 minutes without scoring

Although the Toro It is vital for Lionel Scaloni (he is the top scorer of his cycle and has just scored two goals in the last FIFA Date -against Colombia and Chile), with his team he has not scored since January 12. It was a penalty, in the victory against Juventus for the Italian Super Cup. In the local tournament the drought is longer, since his last cry was on December 17, in the win against Salernitana.

“Lautaro Martínez was the worst in the field of an Inter that in itself was not transcendental”wrote The Gazzetta dello Sport behind the Derby della Madonnina before him Red-black for the Italian Cup. “At least Dzeko knows how to find a way to make himself visible even without a goal. The Bosnian remains a reference, one he leans on anyway. The ball goes to look for him, he knows how to work it. Lautaro no, not even that. And that is the number one problem to solve,” added the newspaper.

The aforementioned newspaper opens the debate and casts doubt on the presence of the albiceleste this Friday against Salernitana at home. “Is it better to insist on the big ones who are down and would need to be unblocked (especially Lautaro) or deploy fresh forces to reconnect the current?”, he asks.

Mediaset It was another of the means that put under the magnifying glass the present of the one that emerged from the Racing quarry. “The Inter coach has to deal with a listless Lautaro, bewildered, unrecognizable for several months. Added to the Argentinian’s abstinence from scoring is his almost total absence in maneuvers, which makes the team’s climb ‘very complicated’, which cannot always and only rely on Dzeko”, he wrote. In addition to Martínez and the Bosnian, Inzaghi has Joaquín Correa, Alexis Sánchez and Felipe Caicedo as alternatives in attack.

Tuttosport, for his part, he cataloged his performance in the classic as a “disaster” and rated it with a 4.5 in your newsletter. “The negative moment continues. Almost everything is wrong. Their controls and movements”, remarked the newspaper.

The 24-year-old forward, so far this season, has played 35 games, in which he scored 12 goals (11 were in Serie A) and provided two assists (all in the local tournament). This drought caused the Nerazzurro lose several points and remain in second position, two units behind leaders Napoli and Milan.
