Inter Milan captain Martinez: Lukaku REFUSING to take my call; I'm disappointed

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has revealed Romelu Lukaku has REFUSED to take his calls.

The Chelsea striker spent last season on-loan with Inter but is now in talks to sign for Juventus.

Lukaku's decision has angered many at Inter and Lautaro admits he's tried to fix the situation.

"I tried to call him but he never replied," he said. “He did the same with his other teammates. After so many years together, I was disappointed."

On taking the captaincy, Lautaro added: “Wearing this armband means taking on more responsibility within the team, inside the dressing room.

“But I've always done that, even before being captain.

“I've always done everything I can to help my teammates when they need it."
