Inter may be forced to sell Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez to Barcelona due to his high wage demands, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Spanish newspaper Sport.
The report details how the Blaugrana have prepared a huge contract for the 22-year-old Argentine striker, and his desire to play with compatriot and idol Lionel Messi has put the Nerazzurri in a tough position. Inter have been working to secure a new deal for Lautaro, but there is a significant gap between the club’s offer and the player’s demands.
Inter have offered the 22-year-old a €4 million yearly salary, the report continues, but Lautaro wants double that, similar figures to the offers that have arrived from England and Spain. The Nerazzurri haven’t raised their offer yet and may be forced into selling him, despite his importance to coach Antonio Conte’s squad. The player has scored 16 goals across all competitions this season.
