Before Inter embarks on its journey in the Champions League 2026/27, Lautaro Martínez had time to address one of the topics that generated the most noise during the last transfer market in Spain. Ahead of the clash against Real Madrid, the Argentine forward publicly backed Julián Álvarez, his teammate in the Argentine National Team.
The situation of the Atlético de Madrid attacker did not go unnoticed by the captain of the Italian team. When asked about what happened in recent weeks, Lautaro shared that he kept in contact with his teammate and sought to support him during a complex time. "I talked to him, I sent him a message. I showed him all my support because, beyond the fact that we share a squad, we share a position and fight for a place in the National Team, he is a friend," explained the Toro.
The Bahian also acknowledged that he understands the difficulties that Araña has gone through and avoided questioning the decisions made by the parties during the conflict. "Surely the moment he went through and is going through is not easy, but well, the decision is up to his club, the president," he noted.
Far from just focusing on the episode, Lautaro took the opportunity to highlight Julián's qualities and express his wish that he can quickly regain his best form. "I wish him the best, I hope he gets better soon and continues to show what he has shown so far, because he is a great player, one of the best in the world," he concluded.
