How Argentina Star Nearly Gave Up Football For A Career In Basketball

How Argentina Star Nearly Gave Up Football For A Career In B

 

Inter Milan of Italy and Argentina striker, Lautaro Martínez, nearly gave up football for a career in basketball in 2015.

Indeed, the South American was close to dedicating himself to basketball, rather than football, at the age of 15. At that time, he was with Racing Club in his native Argentina.

"I love basketball," Martinez, 22, told Argentine magazine El Grafico in a 2017 interview.

"At 15, I had to choose and I went with football but if I hadn't made it, I'd have played basketball.

"I'd rather watch a basketball game than a football match."
