Lautaro Martinez Always Wanted to Play with Lionel Messi

DBasia.news –  Lautaro Martinez’s agent has reheated the rumors of his client’s transfer to Barcelona. According to him, Martinez always liked to play with Lionel Messi.

Lautaro Martinez performed impressively with the Argentine national team during the 2019 Copa America. Martinez was the biggest goal contributor to La Albiceleste.

Lautaro Martinez’s performance attracted attention at the 2019 Copa America. Barcelona is reportedly interested in bringing in the 21-year-old player.

The Blaugrana reportedly offered 100 million euros to Lautaro Martinez in the 2019 winter transfer window. However, Barcelona’s offer was rejected by Inter Milan.

His agent, Beto Yaque, said his client dreamed of playing with Lionel Messi. Yaque was pleased to see Lautaro Martinez duet with Messi.

“It would be nice to see Lautaro Martinez play with Lionel Messi in Barcelona. It’s nice to see him play like in the Argentine national team, calm and happy,” said Beto Yaque.

“Lautaro Martinez has good ball control and first touch. It’s hard for the defender to drive Martinez out. He is a very understated player.”

“Before joining Inter Milan, I told him it would be challenging to find a place. I knew what he had in his head he could achieve,” he added.

Lautaro Martinez came to Inter Milan in the 2018 summer transfer window. At that time, La Beneamata only spent 14 million euros to recruit him.
