'I have nothing to be jealous of' - Lautaro Martinez claims he's as good as Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland & Harry Kane as rumours of Inter exit emerge

The World Cup-winning Argentine striker has recently been linked with a move away from the Serie A giants amid interest from Premier League sides like Arsenal and Manchester United. Martinez's current contract expires in June 2026 and he is yet to negotiate a new deal with his club.

As uncertainty looms over the 26-year-old's future in Italy, the player recently claimed that he considers himself to be one of the best players in the world and compared his abilities to that of stars like Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, the forward was asked how he compares to the aforementioned stars, replying: "I have nothing to be jealous of them, the numbers and the trophies say so. Some of them have won less than me. I have to keep working responsibly as my father taught me, but I can be at the same level as all these great players."

When asked about his future with the Nerazzurri, he added: "I don't think the fans need to know the figures. I obviously only speak to Inter about that. There is talk of €12 or €14 million, but I repeat, these are issues between Lautaro and the club. Besides, these are numbers I never mentioned and neither did Inter. Why should we talk about this? Let us instead talk about his love for Inter. The fans must know that Lautaro loves the city of Milan and this team. Lautaro loves this club, so there is no need to worry."

Martinez will be next seen in action on Sunday night as the newly crowned Serie A champions take on Verona in their final game of the season.
