Lautaro Martinez will remain a target for Barcelona even after his release clause expires according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, which was aired a short time ago.

The highly rated 22-year-old Inter striker’s release clause of €111 million is due to expire tomorrow and from then on Inter will be able to demand what they want for the Argentine national team player.

Negotiations between Inter and Barcelona over Lautaro could last until October 5, which is the final day of the transfer market, unless an agreement between the clubs is found earlier than that.

Barcelona have been courting Lautaro for a considerable amount of time now whilst Inter have remained firm with their stance from day one.

Inter have demanded that his release clause is paid otherwise they will not let the player leave and club management have insisted in the media that the player has not asked to leave the club either.
