I'm not sure this transfer will be realized, Lautaro Martinez is still very young and he is the most influential player in the Inter Milan team, of course it will be very difficult for the team to let him go and also if Lautaro Martinez is willing to move then his football career will decrease greatly.
Financially, the Inter Milan team is not doing well right now, but selling key players is not a good option, it will only make the team worse off.

Personally I still firmly believe that Lautaro Martinez will not move to the Saudi Arabian team and he will remain at Inter Milan for the next few seasons.
Inter Milan is in a difficult position as they try to hold onto Lautaro Martinez a key member of their frontline despite the tempting offers from the Saudi Pro League. There are worries that the club finances may not be in the best shape necessitating the sale of top players to improve them. The chance that Martinez would decide to stay with the team especially when the vice chairman mentioned selecting him as the new captain gives Inter Milan hope. Martinez might be encouraged to stay by this increased responsibility and Inzaghi encouragement might be crucial in persuading him to continue his journey with the team.
I mean they are not really spending all that much money, that's their problem. Italian clubs are having some of the worst financial troubles I have seen in a while, and if any person comes out and just buys one of them out, and spend money like they do with other leagues, they could dominate the league very easily. That would be boring for the league and other teams of course, but a team that spends 100 million a year, every single year, would definitely be something that would be insanely well regarded without an issue.

I hope that it can reach to a point where it doesn't have to be like that, but if it is, then I hope it is not just one team but multiple teams so that we can see some competition and not like PSG situation.

Inter Milan is in dire need of funds to cover the club's debts and pay player salaries, but letting Lautaro Martinez join the SPL is not the right move. Martinez will lose his place in the Argentina squad if he moves to the SPL, because he will certainly experience a decrease in his performance and creativity because the SPL is not as competitive as the Italian Serie A.

Martinez is still under contract with Inter Milan until 2026, most recently he has rejected an offer from the SPL club worth 60 million. Staying and captaining Inter is an extraordinary achievement at this time.
Letting Lautaro Martinez go to the Arab Pro League certainly isn't a good option, but if that's an option Inter needs to consider then they could sell him too. Lautaro Martinez, of course, still really wants to stay in Europe because he feels he can still compete in the top-flight competition at the moment, this will also support him being called up to the national team because of his performance.

I agree more that if Martinez joins another top team in Europe regardless of whether in the Premier League, La Liga or Ligue 1, it will definitely give him more chances to have a good career than in the Arab Pro League. But I think he's still happy to be with Inter for a longer period of time, that's definitely his wish.
Lautaro Martinez is an incredibly good striker. But I personally don't like his finishing. Lautaro Martínez could improve a bit if he goes to another club. Because I think this player deserves to play in another good club.

Yes, Inter have finally abandoned any negotiations with Lukaku and now they are trying to negotiate with Folarina Balogun from Arsenal. The striker spent last season on loan at Reims, but now Arsenal are planning to sell their striker for at least 30 million euros. This is more expensive than Inter planned to spend on Lukaku, but they will probably go for it, as they consider Folarin to be a more promising striker. I think Lukaku will have other options and Saudi Arabia will not be his only choice.
Folarin Balogun is a good striker for Inter Milan because he is still young anyway, if Inter can get his services so I think then Inter have another promising young striker for the future, although Balogun rarely played for Arsenal but when he played at Reims he has impressive statistics. But I heard another rumours Arsenal are asking for a fee of 50 million for the transfer of this player, now Nerazzurri are focusing on bringing in Gianluca Scamacca from West Ham rather than Balogun because his price is too expensive.
Actually Folarin Balogun is a good young player and can sharpen the attack line for Inter Milan but yes he has a high enough price that makes Inter Milan have to think twice about buying this one player.
Finance is the main factor that can make a football club grow and spending too much can damage a club's financial system and that is why Inter Milan prefer Gianluca's option.
Hopefully Gianluca can become what Inter Milan hopes for in the future.

Milan don't intend to make big signings as usual. Even after hearing about Lukaku's cost to them they must have given up signing him. Lukaku's priority was Inter also though but still I think that reason also affected Milan's decision. They just want to have a decent level of squad that can be enough to achieve their goals.

After that point it is up to Pioli and his students to become successful. In the season Milan won the Serie A title the last they didn't make a huge signing either. It is all about having the right philosophy and full concentration for them. I hope to see a different Milan in the league this season unlike the one in last season.

Inter Milan is in a difficult position as they try to hold onto Lautaro Martinez a key member of their frontline despite the tempting offers from the Saudi Pro League. There are worries that the club finances may not be in the best shape necessitating the sale of top players to improve them. The chance that Martinez would decide to stay with the team especially when the vice chairman mentioned selecting him as the new captain gives Inter Milan hope. Martinez might be encouraged to stay by this increased responsibility and Inzaghi encouragement might be crucial in persuading him to continue his journey with the team.

I actually don't think you're right about that. Intermilan is not in a difficult position right now. Lautaro martinez already rejected a lucrative offer from saudi club. Even lautaro said that if he wants to stay in intermilan, he is not trying to leave the club until he can give his best to the intermilan.
Lautaro is very loyal to the intermilan. that's the reason he was rejecting an offer that might give him 10x times salary compared with his current salary. The problem that has been faced by intermilan if the club has to sign a new striker.

Lukaku has gone back again to chelsea while dzeko left as a free agent and he has already joined another club. Simeone must try to get a new striker as soon as possible. Intermilan really needs a new striker.
Lautaro has detailed what reason that made him reject saudi's offer. he is only focusing in intermilan now. There's no need to rethink about saudi's lucrative offer at this moment.

As Inter Milan aims to win the title, keeping the defence strong is crucial for them. If Inter Milan's defence had been strong in the last season, maybe their performance in Serie A would have been more regular. However, Inter Milan needs an experienced striker next season. Martinez and Lukaku played well last season. However, next season Inter Milan is not getting Lukaku in the team. Inter Milan will have to find a replacement for Lukaku. At the same time, they must strengthen the defence. It will be too risky for Inter Milan to rely solely on Martinez's performance for scores.
It seems that the competition in the Italian Serie A will experience a slight change in terms of the performance of each team. First with the many key players who have started to move clubs, change of coaches, inadequate finances, and cases like Juventus with sanctions. So we can see that it will be difficult for the Italian Serie A to predict which club will really be able to maintain the top of the standings. Milan for example, now can be said to have more plus points than minuses. Inter Milan of course Lautaro Martinez will not be able to carry out the task alone in attack. Napoli has to reduce their dependence on Osimhen a little because he is currently being discussed by big clubs outside Italy.

Almost every team in Serie A's top tier is in some trouble right now. The condition of the Juventus team is not stable. Their performance in the last season was quite good, but not stable. Also there are many problems within this group. The Inter Milan team is quite strong. But they need some important changes in the squad. On the other hand, the situation of Champions Napoli team is more unstable in the last season. Because they lost their experienced coach. Also, their leading scorer Osimhen will probably not be with the team next season. For these reasons it is very difficult to say which team will dominate Serie A next season.

Juventus tomorrow has a schedule for a friendly match against the club that won the title in Laliga last season, namely Barcelona. And the game will take place at the Levi's stadium (Santa Clara, California). I think this fight is worth watching. Sometimes through pre-season matches we can see some of the advantages and disadvantages possessed by the team before the season starts.
In the last 5 matches Barcelona managed to win 2 times. Meanwhile, Juventus only had 1 win from 5 matches and the rest ended in a draw.

For now, if we look at the composition of Barcelona's squad, it looks clearly superior. It's just that Juventus is one of the strongest teams in the Italian League. So we can't underestimate it. This match will probably be a test case for the two teams to apply some new strategies for the team. I personally am not really interested in who will win. But I'm interested to see what kind of strategy the two coaches will use in that match.

Whatever strategy is used in a friendly match like this, I am sure it cannot be a reference for their performance in the new season. In fact, even if we are Juventus fans but still, betting on matches like this is not the right way. Thus, then a match like this will only be an entertainment before we start the new season later of course. Unless, they can play with their main squad until the end of the match, then it could be a serious match for the strategy implemented later.

Lautaro Martinez has long years ahead of him to continue to play in Europe. There is literally no reason for him to join a Saudi Arabian or MLS team in the near future. He is happy at Inter for now and he has become an indispensable player for his team with this performance on one hand. Inter wouldn't even be keen on selling him to bigger European teams unless they get a very good offer.

He was once linked with Real Madrid but it was a long time ago. I don't think Real Madrid will make such signing this summer.
I think the media is exaggerating the news that is currently hot and we know how busy the transfer of European players to the Saudi league has been since last month. With this, the media competed with each other to make baseless rumors and moreover this was linked to Lautaro Martinez, who is currently at the peak of his performance with Inter.

We all know he is an important player for Inter and it will not be easy for any team to touch him, especially for Lautaro Martinez himself, of course he has never thought of going to the Saudi league or MLS. It is true that Lautaro Martinez was linked with Real Madrid but until now the continuation of these rumors has disappeared and it seems that Real Madrid are no longer interested in signing Lautaro Martinez from Inter.

Lautaro Martinez has had very good form with Inter. and Inter have also confirmed that they do not want to sell him to any club. This rumor may just be made up by the media because there is no official statement coming out of the party concerned.
maybe this happened only when Inter had a shortfall in the club's finances. and it has to close with the sale of a few players who might make a lot of money. we don't know how Inter are at the moment. if they do well, I'm sure Lautaro Martinez will stay at Inter, at least for this season.
I never thought that Inter would be short on funds and in fact Inter could still bring in more players even if it wasn't that expensive. It is true that this news is only made for the media because after Milinkovic Savic from Lazio who joined the Saudi league team until now there have been no more rumors regarding players from Serie A who will join. Maybe this is what underlies the media to make rumors as if Lautaro Martinez is starting to attract interest from the Saudi league team. Inter will always be the home of Lautaro Martinez and considering his role is so irreplaceable it is very unlikely he will leave Inter.

Well I hope AC Milan can stay in the ranks of clubs that are in the top order of the title race in Serie A this season. They buy players on a limited budget. and they were also forced to sell several players to stabilize their finances. but apart from all that, Ac Milan has always managed to deal with the crises that confronted them. Ac Milan is also always able to maximize the squad they have. But right now Ac milan does need some new strength for the team. because we know that at the end of last season AC Milan started to lose balance in their squad.
Yes, last season they failed to win a trophy, either Serie A or the Champions League. Because indeed they themselves are aware that their team is not as strong as other big clubs. We also know how their squad is, not strong enough for the various players. While on the other hand they do not have much money. That's why at least their coach, Stefano Pioli, has to work harder to get new players who are more talented and stronger this season. The arrival of several new players so far is quite a breath of fresh air for AC Milan, they are quite good. Hopefully it really suits AC Milan's coach and playing style. Even though it might not be as strong as the other clubs anymore.

Milan is a team that always aims for the championship. They're having bad seasons, but they have the strength to get through. Success comes when the coach manages the team in harmony. I think they will add more players to the team. Their financial situation is not good, but they can make transfers that are not very expensive.

I'm curious about the status of the league next season. New rosters have formed in many leagues and the compatibility of the teams is a matter of curiosity. Players who can adapt to each other can carry their teams to the top with the points that can be obtained at the beginning of the season. It is very important to start the league with points in such leagues. Wins can also contribute positively to the team's chemistry. The compatibility of the players of the Milan team with each other is more important than many things for the new season.

Quote
Lautaro Martinez has reportedly rejected an offer worth around €240m from a Saudi Arabian club, having no intention of leaving Inter.
On Friday, reports emerged from Argentina suggesting that the 25-year-old striker had received a four-year contract offer from an unnamed Saudi side worth €60m net per season, a salary worth 10 times more than his current wages in the Lombardy capital.
Lautaro, who has three years left on his contract with Inter, has grown into a talismanic figure at the club and is expected to be named the new captain for the coming campaign.
Page three of today’s Gazzetta dello Sport details how Lautaro turned down the lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, not wanting to leave Inter anytime soon.
https://football-italia.net/lautaro-rejects-saudi-mega-offer-to-stay-with-inter/

Lautaro has turned down saudi's lucrative offer, which is not a surprise for me. It's caused by lautaro is still young. He wants to compete in the european competiton even longer. He has no intention to leave from intermilan as soon as possible. Saudi club was feeling over confident for its offer to be accepted by him. I have predicted that if saudi club will not get him no matter how big the price already offered to him. Lautaro still wanna play in UCL with intermilan. he is not interesting to get a lot of money this time but he puts achievement as everything in his life.
Intermilan is still struggling and it was also losing against manchester city in the final of UCL. Lautaro wanna try to face manchester city again next season in UCL. No reason to let him leave or inter fans gonna make another protest to the club again.
Lautaro's a long term asset owned by intermilan. He won't be sold to another club. Lautaro shall be removed from the list of players targeted by SPL.

Inter Milan played quite well last season. Their attacking players were able to perform their duties properly. The team managed to score a lot of goals. This is why Inter Milan qualified for the Champions League final. However, Inter Milan's weakness in the last season was their defence. The team did not get the expected performance from the defenders. And so if Inter Milan's goal is to win the title next season, they will definitely need to strengthen their defense. If the performance of the defenders does not improve, the chances of Inter Milan winning the title next season are slim.
Inter Milan defensive lines indeed was quite bad because last season they were conceded 42 goals and this record is worse than the achievements of the 2021 season that at that time Inter conceded only 32 goals and Inzaghi have already concern about this and that's why he will bought more players for defender position
However regarding pre season match Inter have already win with big scores against Serie C team Pergolettese FC yesterday that they won 10-0 and Lautaro Martinez was scores 4 goals from this match and i know this is not the indicator of Inter strength because their opponent is too weak and easy to be defeated but Inzaghi has been confirmed he was satisfied with all of Inter players performance because their fitness levels have almost reached the target he wants
I also see the same thing as what you saw about Inter Milan last season, yes it was a fragile defense that they often got into trouble and had an impact on their results. I'm sure they will be very aware of that and prepare to improve their defensive line for the next season. Even in terms of goal deficit, they are better than last season's runners up, Lazio. But Lazio have a better defensive line than INter Milan, so that helps them a lot to stay in second place until the end of the season. I won't try to compare them to Napoli, because we know they were so solid last season.

if it is true because of debt then Inter must think of another way to solve the problem. Lautaro Martinez is playing very well for Inter. and losing him this season could have been very bad for Inter. they have to compete with Milan, Napoli, and also Juventus. it was not easy for Inter to lose Lautaro Martinez at the start of the season without finding a replacement. moreover Inter also lost Lukaku who they could not buy from Chelsea.

I'm not sure this transfer will be realized, Lautaro Martinez is still very young and he is the most influential player in the Inter Milan team, of course it will be very difficult for the team to let him go and also if Lautaro Martinez is willing to move then his football career will decrease greatly.
Financially, the Inter Milan team is not doing well right now, but selling key players is not a good option, it will only make the team worse off.

Personally I still firmly believe that Lautaro Martinez will not move to the Saudi Arabian team and he will remain at Inter Milan for the next few seasons.
