Inter Milan chief Beppe Marotta says Lautaro Martinez wants to stay.

While Romelu Lukaku has left for Chelsea, Inter and Lautaro are ready to commit themselves to a new contract.

“Lautaro is a player who explicitly asked to stay at Inter, despite receiving other lucrative offers," said Marotta.

"We are proud of that, he wants to prove himself a champion here and we are very happy that he can continue his growth process at this club."

He added: “I won't disguise that we are looking for another striker, with what the market offers and the economic funds available. I wish to be very optimistic, reassure our fans that we are highly-motivated and will work to give our best for them and for us."
