Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez has criticized his Inter Milan teammates, stating that the Italian side need "new blood" after their disappointing season.

The forward's comments come after an 11-month long season where they ended runners-up in both the Champions League and the Serie A.

"We have to clear the air and make room for new blood. Everyone should take a long look in the mirror and think about what they want.

"Whoever does not want to stay should go; it is very simple," Martinez told ESPN, adding that "this is not the time for friendships or favors."

The 25-year-old also addressed the club's disappointing collective performance, stating that "we have all underperformed and we all deserve a slap."

However, he stressed that the team's commitment to improving and working together should not be underestimated.

"Anyone who doesn't understand that is simply not fighting for Inter," he said.

The comments have sparked speculation over the future of some of the club's experienced players.

Only time will tell how these comments will impact the team's chemistry and performance in future competitions.

Will Inter Milan undergo the necessary changes to compete for top titles?

Or will Martinez' remarks cause a rift within the team?

Only time will tell.

Martinez concluded his remarks by emphasizing that "there must be a radical change of mentality," and that he is "convinced" that the club will take the necessary steps to return to the top.
