Wanted: Lautaro Martinez
Barcelona are edging closer to the signing of Lautaro Martinez.
That’s according to newspaper Marca, who claim the Argentine forward is reluctant to sign a new contract with Inter Milan despite their best efforts.
Martinez, 22, is aware of Barcelona’s interest and would reportedly find it ‘enticing’ to play alongside Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp.
The Spanish champions haven’t lodged an official offer because they fear sparking a bidding war throughout Europe with Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG all monitoring his situation.
However, Barcelona believe interest from their two primary rivals Real Madrid and Manchester City has no ‘cooled’ with Zinedine Zidane’s side more interested in Erling Haaland.
