Barcelona are refusing to give up in the fight to sign Inter star Lautaro Martinez and have a plan, according to a report from Spanish media outlet Marca earlier today.
The report details how the 22-year-old Argentine striker has declined an offer from Inter to renew his contract, due to the fact that he still has three years left on his contract. The player is still incredibly keen to join Barcelona and that has been apparent in conversations between the Argentine forward and the club.
Barcelona aren’t withdrawing in their interest of signing the player, the report continues, despite the fact that they cannot pay his €111 million release clause. Lautaro’s release clause is valid for the first two weeks of July, but beyond that he has no release clause. Barcelona believe that his value would drop due to the Coronavirus pandemic and so are in no rush to sign the 22-year-old. They still believe they can tempt Inter by offering multiple players in exchange.
