Lautaro Martinez has just finished the World Cup and is taking advantage of his vacation to regain his form in preparation for returning to Inter Milan. Italian media outlet LaJack revealed the Argentine striker's return date.
The report from Slow Motion stated: "Inter Milan is waiting for him to return in the second week of August. That week, between the 10th and 13th, close to August 15th, is about 10 days before Inter Milan's first Serie A match against Monza. The rest of the players who missed the World Cup will also be available during the team's planned tour of Asia and Australia."
The report also highlighted the World Cup final and the record he was expected to break:
"No one expected him to miss that game. Lautaro scored 7 goals in 8 games in the Americas, initially partnering Messi as the starting striker. He started throughout the group stage, but only broke his goal drought with a penalty against Jordan. Scaloni continued to trust him in the Cape Verde match, but Argentina struggled, and Julian Alvarez began to rotate in, becoming a regular starter. Lautaro's World Cup journey turned around with his substitute appearance against Chile, followed by a decisive goal against Switzerland and a historic header in a thrilling comeback against England. In the final, Scaloni almost guaranteed to use him, and Inter's only world record since 1982 needed to continue—always having an Inter player on the field, even if only as a substitute."
"Now, with Messi gradually entering the twilight of his career, Lautaro has the opportunity to become Argentina's current top scorer. His three goals in the World Cup brought his national team goal tally to 40, ranking fourth on the all-time list, surpassing Crespo and only one goal behind Aguero. After the holidays, the Inter Milan captain will continue to strive for goals for Inter. He is currently third on the club's all-time top scorers list, 34 goals behind second-placed Altobelli. Catching up to these numbers next season will not be easy, but for this bull, after experiencing a bitter ending, perhaps he shouldn't set limits."
