Although he grew up in a city dominated by the wealthy, Lautaro Martinez came from a poor family and has little to tell other than memories of his father's successful career as a footballer. Yes, that's right, his father was also a footballer.

• 

• His Girlfriend: Lautaro Martínez used to date Sol Pérez, but they split in 2017. They parted because of different career plans when Lautaro Martínez was called up to play for Inter. It didn't take long for Lautaro Martinez to find love again. She is a model named Agustina Gandolfo with whom she would like to go to Europe. Judging by how the two lovers interact, the two seem to fit in perfectly, and I think it's only a matter of time before Agustina Gandolfo becomes his wife.

The Story of  Lautaro Martinez

• As I mentioned earlier, Lautaro's father was also a football player. His father has struggled with retirement over the years, so he hopes to continue his dream through his son. Luckily Lautaro was physically educated by his father and determined his ambition in life - to become a professional football player. A love of the sport and Lautaro's determination to succeed gave Lautaro the courage to start a football tryout at the city's local club, the Liniers. Luckily he was accepted by the club and learned a lot from his father.

• During his early years at the club, Lautaro Martinez followed his father's guidance and through his own efforts, he managed to grow up in the youth ranks of the Liniers academy. So he wanted to join a better club.

• At the age of 15, he was discovered by Boca Juniors who invited him to a trial training. But in the end, the club rejected him, saying he did not meet the standard to play for them. Lautaro Martinez never gave up, though. A year later, his brilliance caught the attention of Racing Club interim coach Fabio Ladali, who signed him in January 2014.

• Lautaro rose to prominence thanks to his attacking and scoring abilities. Because of his increasing performance, other great clubs such as Real Madrid, Valencia, Atlético de Madrid, and Inter Milan started to take an interest in him. In the end, Inter Milan signed him.

• At Inter, despite being used as a substitute, Lautaro did his best. At the 2019 Copa America tournament, he forged a strong partnership with Messi.

Jersey Recommendation

L. MARTINEZ #22 Argentina Jersey 2022 Home -THREE STARS

The team and coaching staff wore special jerseys with their numbers and faces before kickoff in tribute to the late Diego Maradona, Alejandro Sabella, and Leopoldo Jacinto Luque. The stripes on the new Argentina 2022 World Cup home football shirt are classic, but just on the front. The back stripes are truly unusual - rather than featuring the same width, there are two thinner sky blue stripes in the center, with two wider ones on the outside of the shirt. These larger stripes are about three times as wide as the ones in the middle. It is supposed to look like the Argentinean flag. Also based on the flag, the Sol de Mayo, the national emblem of Argentina, appears on the back under the collar.
