José Manuel López

J. López is a Target Man.

Lautaro Martínez

Lautaro Martínez is the rare striker who makes Inter's system look inevitable—a physical, relentless finisher who bends games to his will rather than waiting for them to open up. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of Serie A attackers, a number that reframes him entirely: this isn't a small, slippery forward—he's a bulldozer with technique.
