According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have got Lautaro Martinez under lock and key.

It would seem that the competition – from Real Madrid among others – has forced the Nerazzurri to speed up operations, with talk about bringing Martinez to Milan within this window. Additionally, Spalletti needs someone to support Icardi, but he could also be an insurance policy in the event that Icardi decides to leave in the summer.

Obviously, Inter can only work with the formula of a loan with the right of redemption while still having to adhere to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations. However, the Nerazzurri are relying on the reputation and charisma of vice-President Javier Zanetti as well as Diego Milito, the current technical secretary for Racing Club.

The youngster does not have an EU passport and Inter only have one non-EU spot left, therefore it depends on whether or not Inter deem him more important than other non-EU targets.
