Barcelona will do everything possible in order to bring Inter striker Lautaro Martinez to the club according to a report from the online edition of Spanish news outlet Sport.
Barcelona have already reached an agreement in principle over personal terms with the Argentine national team forward, who has clear ideas about his own future.
The player would like a change of scenery and wishes to join a club that can compete to win the Champions League. In addition to this, he is aware that the current situation at Barcelona can only benefit him.
Lautaro did not wish to be a back-up option to Luis Suarez but with Suarez having been told he has no future with Barcelona, Lautaro is now more convinced than ever about joining the Blaugrana side, who have courted him for a considerable amount of time.
Barcelona are hopeful of being able to reach an agreement with Inter over the 23-year-old, something that has proved difficult thus far.
Barcelona hope that in the next week Inter will respond to the most recent offer made and hope that Inter’s demands will drop with Barcelona unwilling to spend any more than €65 million. In addition to a cash sum, Barcelona could insert several players as part payment.
The report goes on to explain that this may not be the only deal that is possibly done between Barcelona and Inter as Arturo Vidal may swap Barcelona for Inter.
Inter have been after the Chilean for a while and he is working to free himself from his contract with Barcelona.
Barcelona are not keen on freeing him but could change their mind if it leads to Inter changing their stance with regard to Lautaro.
