Read the full story at football-italia.netCristian Chivu's first major comments as Inter Milan manager carry real weight — he's publicly backing Lautaro Martinez as the offensive focal point, which stabilizes the attack after a transitional summer. At the same time, his remarks on Esposito suggest the young forward is firmly in the depth chart rather than the starting XI, a signal that Inter may still be in the market for attacking reinforcements or are comfortable with their current hierarchy.
