There has been continuous contact between Inter and Barcelona for a number of weeks regarding Lautaro Martinez according to a report from broadcaster ESPN.
Barcelona are said to have identified Lautaro as their number one transfer target ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window and are trying to find the right players they could offer to Inter as part of a deal for him with them reluctant to pay his €111 million release clause.
The report explains that Inter manager Antonio Conte is proving to be a real obstacle for Barcelona with the former Italian national team manager reluctant to let him go as he sees him as one of the most important players in the team.
It goes on to add that Barcelona could offer Arturo Vidal and Nelson Semedo as part of the deal for the highly rated 22-year-old, who has also drawn links to Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea as of late, in a bid to convince Conte to let him go.
