Former Barcelona and Argentina national team forward Javier Saviola has shared his belief that Inter striker Lautaro Martinez could be good for Barcelona but has insisted that it will not be easy for him.

Barcelona have been heavily linked with making a move for the 22-year-old forward in recent weeks and months with many reports suggesting he is there number one transfer target.

Lautaro has a €111 million release clause in his current contract with Inter but reports have stated Barcelona would instead prefer to do a player(s) plus cash deal for the former Racing Club player, who has also been linked to Real Madrid and Manchester City.

“Honestly for me he is a player who can come in handy for Barcelona. We know what it means to be next to Suarez, Messi and other great players but I am not saying that it is easy to play with them,” Saviola remarked in an interview with Goal.com via social media platform Instagram.

“Dybala said it was difficult with Messi and I supported him because it requires a high level of concentration, to be at his pace. It seems easy but it is not.”

This season Lautaro has made 31 appearances across all competitions to date in which he has scored 16 goals and provided a total of four assists for his Nerazzurri teammates.
