Icardi & Lautaro are the future of Inter – Zanetti

Speaking exclusively to Goal, the Argentine icon spoke highly of his club's strikers and the Nerazzurri's plans for the future

Javier Zanetti, Inter legend and current director of football at the Italian club, claims that Lautaro Martinez and Mauro Icardi 'are the future' and that the Serie A side are lucky to have them.

After scoring an impressive 22 goals across 48 league matches for Racing in Argentina, Martinez, still only 21 years old, sealed a transfer to San Siro for a reported €23 million (£20m/$25m) fee.

The Argentine still has some way to go to match the goal return of compatriot Icardi since his transfer in 2018, but both have the advantage of time on their side and Zanetti has backed the duo for big things.
