DBasia.news – The President of FC Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu, finally opened his voice about the rumors of the arrival of Lautaro Martinez. Rumors of the arrival of Martinez from Inter Milan continue to grow.

As reported by Italian Football, Bartomeu said in the meantime he would rule out plans to bring the Argentine striker.

Bartomeu said Lionel Messi would only retire in Catalan. He was not sure that Messi would accept other big European club proposals.

“Messi has said on several occasions he wants to retire here and I have no doubt that he will renew his contract,” Bartomeu said.
