Former Boca Juniors coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto has hailed the progress of Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez.

Schelotto can see the striker playing out his career with Inter.

"We wanted to bring Lautaro to Boca Juniors," said Schelotto to L'Interista. "I think Toro can do with Inter what (Javier) Zanetti did. I see him following a path like him.

"When you play at Inter it's difficult to think about going elsewhere. We are talking about one of the top clubs in Europe.

"Without thinking about the fact that today Inter is strong, competitive at the highest levels."
