Targeted by Barcelona, Inter Milan will not Sell Lautaro Martinez

DBasia.news – Inter Milan ensures that they will not sell their young striker, Lautaro Martinez. The Nerazzurri’s decision was based on the interest of La Liga club Barcelona in the Argentine player.

It has become public information that Barcelona is interested in Lautaro Martinez. The Argentine attacker is considered suitable to replace Luis Suarez. Moreover, the two players have similar playing styles.

Reportedly, Barcelona have contacted Lautaro to express interest. In addition, the Blaugrana are also trying to find a common ground with Inter Milan.

However, Barcelona’s chance to bring in Lautaro Martinez is already closed. Inter sporting director, Piero Ausilio insists that Lautaro Martinez will remain part of La Beneamata.

“There is an approach from Barcelona to the player. However, we never started negotiations,” said Ausilio to Sky Sports Italia.

In fact, Barcelona is able to Lautaro Martinez if he activates the release clause which reaches 111 million euros. However, Barca could not disburse that much money.

On the other hand, Barcelona’s efforts to make an offer in the form of cash plus players have also been pushed over by Inter Milan. Meanwhile, the deadline for Lautaro’s release clause has ended.

“There is a clause that has never been triggered. Since the day the clause expires, we consider Lautaro Martinez to be out of the market,” continued Ausilio.

Barcelona is predicted to lead to other targets. Moreover, Lautaro Martinez reportedly gave up interest in the Camp Nou as Lionel Messi wanted to leave. Reportedly, Barca is monitoring Moussa Dembele.
