Tuttosport is reporting this morning that Inter are close to completing the signing of Argentine striker, Lautaro Martinez from Racing Club Avellaneda.

The Turin based sports paper reports that Inter’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio is to fly out to Argentina in person to see the player in person. They go on to say: “Inter are looking to close a deal for the striker as soon as possible. The deal is worth a total of €20 million in a deal including cash up front plus bonuses. The player will then join Inter in the summer.”

It has been widely reported that Inter will lose their captain and main striker, Mauro Icardi this summer with Spanish giants, Real Madrid, continuing to monitor the situation of Inter’s striker. It would now seem that Inter are moving fast to safeguard themselves in the event that that Icardi’s move to Madrid does actually come to fruition.
