The captain of Inter Milan, captain Lautaro Martinez and teammate Hakan Calhanoglu, spoke to fences privately after a very public blowout.
This is based on today's print edition of the Milan -based newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport via Fcinternews. They report that the couple tried to cool down things and prevent a full -grown feud from developing.
The exit from Inter Milan from the World Cup this week triggered an extremely public blowup in the squad.
After the 0-2 loss of the Nerazzurri against Fluminense in the round of sixteen, captain Lautaro Martinez did not assemble his words in his comments after the game.
This was done in the middle of always persistent transfer rumors about Calhanoglu. Galatasaray are interested in the 31-year-old, and reports from Turkey indicate that he is also pushing for the exit.
Therefore, questions about the loyalty of Calhanoglu have occurred to the Inter Ssache. Something that obviously not well suited Nerazzurri captain Martinez.

The Turkish captain called Martinez 'words “split”. He pulled that “respect is not a one -way street”.
All of this has threatened to disregard Inters squad and the planning for the next season.
But according to Gazzetta Dello Sport, the two principles in the drama spoke to each other.
Martinez and Calhanoglu made a direct phone call yesterday. According to Gazzetta, the two players have clarified their positions and tried to eliminate misunderstandings.
Of course, the tone of the conversation was hard. In fact, the disagreement between the two players is undoubtedly even more intense than they have conveyed publicly.
However, you are interested in the fact that Martinez and Calhanoglu can work out things directly – and without filters.
