Inter are not looking to offer Barcelona a discount on Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The report details how Blaugrana coach Quique Setien is incredibly keen to sign the 22-year-old Argentine forward, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2023. The Catalan side believe that he would be the perfect replacement for the aging Luis Suarez, who will be 34 in January.
Inter are happy to keep Lautaro, the report continues, if Barcelona don’t match the player’s €111 million release clause. The only way that the Blaugrana would be able to pay less cash would be to offer certain players, with the Nerazzurri’s favourite being Arthur.
Other players that could be included include previous Inter target Arturo Vidal. Barcelona, however, may instead focus their efforts on signing Brazilian star Neymar, delaying the deal for Lautaro until next summer.
