Inter have declined another offer from Barcelona for Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset earlier today.
The report details how the Blaugrana offered the Nerazzurri €80 million plus 23-year-old Spanish full back Junior Firpo for the 22-year-old Lautaro, but the Nerazzurri declined the offer. The club’s sporting director Piero Ausilio highlighted yesterday that the Milanese club would only accept €111 million in cash for Lautaro, a figure that Barcelona seem unable to match.
In the event that Inter do sell Lautaro to Barcelona, the report continues, the Nerazzurri would look to sign either 29-year-old Frenchman Alexandre Lacazette or 21-year-old Brazilian Matheus Cunha. Edinson Cavani is also a possibility, although the player would have to lower his wage demands, considering his age.
Lautaro has made 31 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2437 minutes. In that time, he has scored 16 goals and provided four assists.
