Why is Lautaro angry? Inter Milan President: He may express dissatisfaction with Cialhanoglu
1:35pm, 3 July 2025Football
Inter Milan's locker room turmoil broke out again, Lautaro made a tough statement: "If you don't want to stay, leave."
After losing to Fruminense 0-2 in the 18th final of the Club World Cup, Inter Milan not only suffered a major blow at the competitive level, but also began to rifts within the team.
As the team captain, Lautaro Martinez's speech after the game was full of gunpowder. He bluntly revealed that there were differences in the locker room and sent a clear and tough signal: "Whoever does not want to stay should leave."
Although Lautaro did not name the name, according to Spanish media AS, people familiar with the updates in Inter's locker room knew that his words obviously pointed to Turkey's midfielder Jakan Calhanoglu. The latter has recently shown a "cold" attitude towards the club's long-term plans and is rumored to be considering transfers and leaving the team. Of course, it may be more than Cialhanoglu that is included in this harsh statement.
"You must really want to stay here and be willing to give everything for this collective. We have brought Inter to a height, and we must hold on to it. I won't say who it is, but I see something unacceptable," Lautaro said.
No concealment, no turns – The Argentine striker, as captain, raised serious questions about the unity and commitment in the locker room, especially after a disappointing season.
This season, Inter Milan has lost no chance, not only missing the opportunity to win the triple crown, but also losing the team spirit that he once proud of. In response, Lautaro admitted that he called on the whole team to regain the fighting spirit of the past when he won the championship.
"We have been fighting for the past five years and have won a lot of honors. But this season is long, exhausted and full of failures. Now is the time to start over and start over as we once did."
But before "rebuilding", Inter must face reality - a problem Lautaro has not shy away from pointing out: some players may no longer go all out to play for the Nerazzurri.
From a technical and tactical perspective, Lautaro also admitted that the team performed poorly: "In the first half, we were not focused, made frequent mistakes, and conceded the ball early; although we improved in the second half, we were scored the second goal. But we did try our best."
He also mentioned objective factors, such as high temperature weather, insufficient physical reserves and lineup depth issues, but he emphasized that these cannot be excuses for losing.
Finally, he apologized to the fans who went to the United States to cheer: "I'm sorry to let you come here to support us but get such a result. The most important thing now is to rest and then welcome the new season with a stronger attitude."
Lautaro's speech was far from a summary of an ordinary post-match, but more like a signal to sound an alarm, indicating that the Meazza Stadium will usher in a deep cleaning and change. Those who no longer believe in the team and no longer desire victory may really bid farewell to Inter Milan.
The 2024/25 season has ended with regret, but the summer of 2025 may become a turning point in the fate of this Neptune. And at this moment, it was Captain Lautaro Martinez who stepped forward and sounded the horn of change. Inter Milan President Marotta confirmed in an interview with DAZN and Mediaset that Lautaro might be referring to Cialhanoglu, whose future remains unresolved. Marotta said: "I think he is referring to Calhanoglu. This is the captain's words, he pointed out some assumptions and told some truth. It is reasonable for a player to leave when he doesn't want to stay here anymore. So far, no one has expressed this willingness. We will talk to Calhanoglu and solve the problem in the best way. If a player expresses his willingness to leave, our door will be open for him. This is referring to Calhanoglu, and we will have a clear conversation with him next week. If he chooses a different path, we will accept it."
