Does that all the time with Argentina.
Different beast when you have messi/dybala/Dimaria besides/behind you than when you have gosens/dumfries/dimarco beside you and hakan/miki behind you

Lautaro is becoming a top player, turning up like that in big games. But all that means is that we will get good money for him next summer, so don't get too attached.

He'll be Mbappe replacement next season I'm afraid

I'm not sure if this is already posted, but GdS report PSG and Man United are interested in Lautaro, have contacted his agent but he only wants to play for Inter.
If there’s an offer of anything above 70 million we should sell in a heartbeat

and who would you replace him with the 30m that we'll be able to spend from that?

He didn't resist Barca interest though. It's just covid happened and then Barca were out of money. Without covid Lautaro would have been sold in 2020 summer.

Resisted as he didnt go on strike forcing the move like countless players recently.

And we were happy selling him to Barca.

IIRC, Barcelona bought Griezmann first and they did not have enough money for Lautaro after that. If Martinez was their top priority, the deal would have happened.

To be honest, now, I do not see him leaving unless some big fat contract is on the other side. He is happy in Milano, he is adored by the fans, he even opened a restaurant a few months ago in the city.

One thing I don't completely understand is why he misses. For example if I go there to play I'll miss because my skills won't be enough to perform at that level, this is clear.
But his technical abilities are great, if you just look, he scores most of his goals from the difficult positions, from where it is not easy to take that kind of shots, but all of a sudden he misses very simple moments.

One reason may probably be that he is making the decisions extremely fast inside the box.
he lacks composure and calmness. Soon as he's facing the goal, he gets a sudden rush of blood to the head and just wacks it.

Could his finishing improve? Obivously.
Is he still a good finisher? Yes.

Lautaro may not be as clinical as elite strikers of the European leagues but then again, not even these elite strikers were as clinical as Icardi was on his best with us.

As long as you create chances and get involved in them, eventually you will get there. I was kinda skeptic on Lautaro before a while ago but he proved that he has a great character and everything what it takes to be a top quality striker for us and carry the team forward.

Maybe you are right.

I accepted the fact but have little hope that he will increase his conversion rate. If this happens, warrior like him with 30 goals per season will be absolutely monstrous.

But first he needs a proper partner.

Yes and no he does but i feel like it always happens when he has not scored for a game or two....
He then tends to be over eager to score one and makes more rushed/bad decisions.

Dont think he misses an unusual amount of easy chances when generally in form.
