Barcelona aren’t giving up on their quest to sign Inter star Lautaro Martinez, and the will of the player could make the difference in the negotiations, according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset earlier today.
The report details how the 22-year-old Argentine forward is keen to join the Blaugrana, both due to his wishes to play with Lionel Messi and because of their huge contract offer. The Catalan club have offered him €10 million net per season, figures that Inter can’t match.
The Nerazzurri want €80 million in cash and €40 million from player exchanges for Lautaro, a high request. Players that could be inserted in the deal include Brazilian midfielder Arthur and Nelson Semedo.
Barcelona offered €60 million in cash, the report continues, but the Nerazzurri are demanding €80 million. The Milanese club are looking for a possible replacement already, with options including RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner and PSG forward Edinson Cavani.
