In a surprising turn of events, Inter’s dressing room descended into chaos following their match against  Monterrey in   the 2025 Club World Cup. Coach  Cristian Chivu  reportedly called for the immediate sale of star striker  Lautaro Martínez  , citing his poor performance. Sources close to the team reveal that Chivu criticized Martínez’s positioning, poor finishing and overall offensive performance, sparking a heated debate that left players and staff in disbelief.

Martínez, Inter’s captain and a key figure in the 2022-23 Scudetto triumph, struggled to make an impact against Monterrey’s defense, wasting several clear chances. Chivu’s frustration boiled over after the match, with the Romanian coach reportedly confronting Martínez in front of the team, accusing him of not setting a good example. The clash shocked the football world, with fans and pundits divided over the decision.

Social media has exploded with reactions, with the hashtag #InterChaos trending around the world.

Inter’s board is now under pressure to address the situation, with rumours circulating about potential buyers, including Premier League clubs.

The drama comes at a critical time for Inter, who are looking to consolidate their dominance in both Serie A and the Club World Cup. Can Chivu and Martínez mend their rift, or is this the end of the Argentine’s tenure at San Siro? The football world awaits answers as Inter prepare for their next match.
