Capello Urges Lautaro To Reject Barcelona Move
Lautaro Martinez is better off as a starter that on the Barcelona bench, says Fabio Capello
Fabio Capello praised Inter star Lautaro Martinez, but warned the forward it was better to be starting at the Serie A club than being on the bench at Barcelona.
While Capello is impressed by the Argentina international, the former Real Madrid and Juventus head coach said Martinez would face a challenge to break into Barcelona's starting side.
"Lautaro Martinez is a very good player," he told El Larguero.
"He has everything – a lot of quality, very fast moves and also he's very good when he shoots on goal.
"Going to Barcelona and becoming a starter with Luis Suarez there is difficult.
"I think it is better to be a starter at Inter than a substitute at Barcelona."
Martinez has scored 25 goals in 66 games for Inter since arriving at the club from Racing Club in 2018.
