MILAN (AP) — World Cup winner Lautaro Martínez has two targets: To score 100 goals this season and to renew his contract with Inter Milan.One is more realistic than the other.Inter is in discussions with its star striker on a new five-year contract and when asked if it could be sorted before the new year, Lautaro said he would gladly sign a new deal “tomorrow” and is very close to finalising the details.Lautaro was in buoyant mood in the recent interview with Italian broadcaster Sportmediaset, which also asked him if he had a goalscoring target for this season.“Let’s say 100,” the Argentina international responded with a laugh.“I like to score a lot but the important thing is that Inter wins. My aim is to go up a level every year.”Lautaro has certainly stepped up this year and has grown further after being handed the captain’s armband by Inter in the summer.While 100 goals should be out of reach, breaking the Serie A goal-scoring record of 36 could be a distinct possibility.Lautaro ...

Putin says Macron stopped calling him

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:28:52 GMT

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday accused French President Emmanuel Macron of cutting ties with him, but left the door open to rekindling the relationship. Before the war in Ukraine, Macron cast himself as a negotiator between the West and Russia — the French president traveled to Moscow weeks before Russia’s invasion in a last-ditch effort to de-escalate tensions. Photos of Macron sitting at the opposite end of a long table in the Kremlin became a much-shared meme and an ominous foreboding of Putin’s unwillingness to negotiate. On Thursday, in a Q&A with the press and public, a journalist from the French channel TF1 asked Putin about the current state of the two leaders’ relationship. Putin said they had enjoyed a “quite good working relationship and we were ready to cooperate with France further” on bilateral and global issues.But he added: “At some point the French president stopped the relationship with us.
