Inter in harmony: Lautaro and Calhanoglu settle differences | OneFootball

After weeks of speculation and tension, Inter can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Lautaro Martínez and Hakan Calhanoglu, protagonists of a misunderstanding born after the Club World Cup, have put an end to the misunderstanding.

Inter, harmony returns: Lautaro and Calhanoglu put an end to tensions. The clarification is a reality

A long-awaited clarification, which took place away from the spotlight and was sealed with a simple but eloquent gesture: a photo published on social media by the Argentine captain, which shows him smiling next to his Turkish teammate.

A gesture that speaks volumes: the disagreements are now a thing of the past. The words spoken by Calhanoglu in recent days - "Everything is fine with Lautaro, when he returns I will hug him" - were not just a formality. Upon the return of the Nerazzurri's number 10 to Milan, after his vacation, came the face-to-face meeting. A direct and constructive confrontation, essential to regain harmony in the locker room in view of a season that promises to be full of challenges and changes.

The friction, fueled by some public statements and social media tensions after the tournament, had raised more than one alarm bell around the internal stability of the group. The uncertainty about Calhanoglu's future, whose fate was only defined in recent days, made things worse. But now that this knot has also been untied, the focus can return entirely to the field.

The image shared by Lautaro on Instagram is not just a photo of teammates: it's a strong message, addressed to the club, teammates, and especially the fans. Inter is preparing to face the new season with a debutant coach like Chivu on the bench and with the obligation to confirm the solidity that has characterized recent years. To do this, a compact, cohesive, and motivated team will be needed. The clarification between two of the locker room leaders represents the first step in this direction.

The fans can breathe a sigh of relief: the specter of an internal fracture seems to have been averted. The post-Club World Cup tensions are being archived, and the new Nerazzurri era can finally begin without shadows. Now the word belongs to the field.
