Lautaro Martinez Delivers Strong Message After Inter’s Club World Cup Exit

Following Inter`s defeat and elimination from the Club World Cup against Fluminense, the Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez used very strong words. In his post-match comments, the Argentine stated: “Whoever doesn`t want to stay here, should leave.” Subsequently, Beppe Marotta commented, suggesting the captain was referring specifically to Calhanoglu. Lautaro himself later clarified that he wasn`t referring to anyone in particular, but his words certainly carried weight, perhaps felt by some players or personnel. Despite the defeat, it is believed that this Inter side, shaped around Lautaro`s leadership and performance, has rediscovered its identity and has begun to move past difficult past experiences, such as their previous encounter in Munich.
