DBasia.news – Barcelona visited Italy to play Inter Milan in the Champions League. That was the chance for the Blaugrana to try to recruit Lautaro Martinez.
Lautaro Martinez was transformed into a sharp attacker this season. The Argentine has gained 13 goals plus three assists in various events. Inevitably, Lautaro will be a threat to Barcelona’s defense in the duel later.
Barcelona, who have also been following developments in Lautaro, will use the match later to negotiate with Inter Milan. Barca hopes to open the door and find out what the Nerazzurri wants.
In fact, the Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, did not hesitate to cast praise to Lautaro Martinez. According to Valverde, Lautaro is a fast and strong attacker.
“He is a great player. Lautaro is undergoing a good season. He is fast and strong,” explained Valverde as reported by Goal.
“Lautaro scored a good goal in the first match at Camp Nou. I know he feels comfortable duet with Romelu Lukaku. They found the right mechanism to help Inter.”
Barcelona wants to make Lautaro Martinez a successor to Luis Suarez who is aging. Although they have no similarities, Valverde considers the two attackers to be equally sharp.
“About Lautaro who is similar to Luis Suarez, the two players are different. However, Lautaro and Suarez were both born to score goals,” Valverde said.
However, Barcelona did not forget the main mission to come to Milan, which was to win. The match will be very important for Inter’s efforts to advance to the knockout stages.
“However, Inter have many good players. Lautaro Martinez, Lukaku, Milan Skriniar, and other players,” explained Valverde.
