Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez has reportedly been ordered to compensate his former babysitter’s family by an Italian court after firing her once he found out she had a serious illness.<\/p>\n
Martinez is alleged to have sacked a 27-year-old woman from her role just eight months after hiring her having learned that she had a terminal illness which caused her death in January 2023.<\/p>\n
The babysitter’s family were not happy with how she was treated, claiming her contract was ‘illegally terminated’ and opted to sue Martinez.<\/p>\n
After hearing the case, the Court of Milan declared on Wednesday that Martinez must compensate the family, according to Sport Italia.<\/p>\n
Martinez is married to Argentine model Agustina Gandolfo, who has two million followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The couple, who wedded in May, have two children together, a girl and a boy. Their daughter Nina is two, while their son Theo was born in August, so was not looked after by their former babysitter.<\/p>\n
Martinez and his wife have reacted angrily to the sentencing, with the pair posting statements on Instagram on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Within the statement Martinez and his wife claimed their former babysitter’s family were trying to ‘dirty’ their name and wanted to ‘take advantage of the situation’.<\/p>\n
They also insisted they had given ‘big help’ to the woman, who they referred to as a ‘lifelong friend’, and suggested the court case was purely motivated by money.<\/p>\n
The exact figure that Martinez will pay the family is currently unclear.<\/p>\n
Martinez has spent the last five years in Italy after joining Inter from Racing Club in Argentina in 2018.<\/p>\n

During his time with the Italian giants he has won Serie A once, plus the Coppa Italia and Italian Cup twice apiece.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old also lifted the World Cup with Argentina last year in Qatar, although he endured a difficult tournament which saw him dropped to the bench in the group stages following the side’s shock opening game defeat to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Despite his underwhelming World Cup, Martinez flourished in the second half of last season and is now the club captain.<\/p>\n
He has made an exceptional start to the current campaign, scoring 10 goals in eight league outings, including all four in a 4-0 win against Salernitana last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
