Inter president Steven Zhang has ordered club management to only allow Lautaro Martinez to leave if his €111 million release clause is met if Barcelona try and get the player to pressure them into dealing him away according to Spanish journalist Francesc Aguilar.
Aguilar claims that Barcelona have already reached an agreement over personal terms with the highly rated 22-year-old and are confident that they can get the player to try and force his current employers into negotiating with them.
Various reports in the media have claimed that Barcelona wish to do a player(s) plus cash deal for the Argentine national team striker but Inter are refusing to back down from their demands and will be even less likely to do so if Barcelona try and pressure them.
This season Lautaro, who has a contract with Inter through to the end of the 2022/23 season, has made 31 appearances across all competitions to date in which he has scored 16 goals and tallied four assists.
