"It’s an honour that the greatest player ever thinks this about me,” Lautaro told Icon Magazine.

“I am happy to be among the candidates, as it recognizes a great season with my national team and club.

“I’ve developed as a man and as a footballer.

“When I arrived in Italy, I was a 20-year-old kid, and I’ve become a father and husband in these last six years. This has helped me improve as a player, and I proudly became the Inter captain.”
