Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez has committed to the club until the end of the 2028-29 campaign by agreeing a new contract. This was revealed in a statement issued by the club via its official website on Monday.

Martinez, whose previous deal was due to expire in a little under two years' time, is now tied to the reigning Serie A champions until 2029. 

The Argentine has scored 129 goals in 282 appearances for the Nerazzurri since joining from Racing Club in July 2018. 

He topped the scoring charts in the Italian top flight last season with 24 goals in 33 games.

Lautaro was key to Argentina retaining the Copa America, netting five times including the only goal in the final triumph over Colombia. 

International glory for the 26-year-old came after he helped power Inter to their second Serie A title in four seasons, finishing their triumphant campaign a whopping 19 points ahead of local rivals AC Milan. 

Inter Milan begin their title defence against Genoa on Saturday.
