Being Asked about Lautaro Martinez Transfer Issue, Lionel Messi Remained Silent

DBasia.news – Barcelona is being frequently rumored about the transfer of Lautaro Martinez. Blaugrana’s captain, Lionel Messi, remained silent and chose to wait for further developments on the matter.

Lautaro is the main target of Barcelona in the upcoming transfer window. The Inter Milan striker will reportedly be plotted as successor for Luis Suarez at Camp Nou.

The Argentine has indeed performed sharply with the Nerazzurri since the start of this season. Lautaro has scored 16 goals and 4 assists in 31 competitive matches.

Some Barcelona approaches initially always got rejection from Inter. However, La Beneamata’s attitude reportedly began to soften and was willing to advance to the negotiating table for the transfer of Lautaro.

Inter set Lautaro’s selling price at 100 million euros. However, the Milan club reportedly also wanted to receive payments worth 60 million euros plus two Barcelona players, namely Arturo Vidal and Nelson Semedo or Emerson.

Responding to Barcelona negotiations for the purchase of Lautaro, Messi claimed not to know much about it. La Pulga only monitors its progress, while praising the quality of the compatriot.

“I do not yet know very well whether there are or ongoing negotiations for him at the moment. I really have no idea about that,” Messi said in his interview with Sport and Mundo Deportivo.

“I have mentioned before that Lautaro is a great attacker because he has a complete value: He is tough, can dribble well, goalscorer, and he knows how to control the ball,” Messi revealed.

“However, well, we must see what finally happened to him and also with other names,” he said.
