Hello and welcome to the Serie A news and rumours of the day! As usual, there are some really big stories in the mill today. So, without further ado, let's take a look at the top stories of the day surrounding the Italian league.
Lautaro Martinez's agent reveals his client's stance on future
The Argentinian starlet's agent Beto Yaque has stated that his client remains keen to build his future at Inter. Beto also believed that his client is good enough to pair alongside Mauro Icardi at the front.
"His future is Inter and Argentina. Recovery times? Actually I still can't tell, tomorrow morning we will meet and will certainly be evaluated all these days in training," he said.
"Icardi-Lautaro? It will be up to the coach to decide who will play. I personally maintain that the two players can safely play together.
"The relationship with his coach has always been good, as with his companions.
The agent also reveals Martinez's role and situations at the Argentina national team.
"Alongside Dybala for Argentina? It was an atypical match, I think it's early to be able to evaluate and get an idea. But both are highly experienced players, we need to see them together again," he concluded.
Lautaro has been a rising star on Inter's side this season. He has given the task to replace problematic Icardi and has done well so far. The 21-year-old has scored 6 league goals coupled with further 2 assists despite he has only started 10 times for Luciano Spaletti's side.
The Argentinian would undoubtedly be the club's main long-term project as the Italian giant already bought the starlet for a somewhat sizeable €23 million last year.

Diego Forlan said Inter would buy Griezmann to replace Icardi
Atletico Madrid legend Diego Forlan has revealed that Inter plan to go for Griezmann to replace under-fire Mauro Icardi. The Uruguayan striker had played for both Inter and Atletico in the past but starred most prominently for the Spanish side.
“If [Griezmann] stayed at Atletico Madrid he’d become a legend, but Inter will buy him once Icardi is sold,” the 39-year-old told ESPN.
He claimed that Inter Milan are the one who told him the sensational plan.
“The club told me this,” he concluded.
Icardi has faced numerous problems in both on and off the field at the Italian outfit. Inter, on the other hand, have seemed to secure Atletico's Diego Godin next season and could use the strong relationship with the Spanish giant to lure Griezmann to San Siro.
Inter will scoop a considerably high amount of cash if they sell Icardi. Hence, they might have the financial power to beat other suitors such as Barcelona and Manchester United for the World Cup winner.
Juventus on red alert as Real Madrid find Kroos replacement
Juventus are said to be interested with Real Madrid's Toni Kroos, according to a report from Italy. The report also states that the Los Blancos have identified Tanguy Ndombele as a replacement for the former Bayern Munich maestro.
Ndombele has attracted numerous interests from the European's biggest recently due to his superb display for Lyon. The Frenchman had impressed in the Champions League despite Lyon's heavy defeat to Barcelona in the second leg.
Juventus, however, want Kroos to replace aging Sami Khedira as well as adding depth to their squad. The former World Cup winner has been criticized due to his poor display this season.
Despite recent critics, the midfielder has been outstanding for Real Madrid since joined from Bayern in 2014 and is still the Los Blancos first choice in the middle of the park.
