Inter have agreed to include Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal in the deal for Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, but have a disagreement with Barcelona about his value, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Spanish newspaper Sport.
The report details how the Nerazzurri still value Lautaro at €111 million, his release clause, and aren’t prepared to give the Blaugrana any discounts in the deal for the 22-year-old. Barcelona understand that Inter coach Antonio Conte is a big fan of the 32-year-old Chilean midfielder, the report continues, and so value him at around €20 million. The Nerazzurri disagree, instead believing that Vidal is not worth more than €15 million. Regardless though, both parties are confident of reaching an agreement.
Vidal has made 31 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1414 minutes. In that time, he has scored six goals and provided three assists, initially struggling to earn consistent minutes under previous coach Ernesto Valverde.
