Argentinian striker Lautaro Martinez is staying with Inter Milan despite the strong interest from La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. This was confirmed to Tuttomercato by Martinez’s agent Beto Yaque.

Martinez was linked with Barcelona for the better part of the year, but the Spanish club couldn’t execute the transfer due to Inter’s high price demands. In the meantime, Real also joined in the pursuit, but they also haven’t had much success in luring the 23-year-old striker from Guiseppe Meazza.

While both clubs remain interested, it appears that Martinez accepted the reality of staying in Italy.

“There is nothing with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Lautaro is staying here at Inter,” said Yaque.

When asked to comment about a recent visit of Martinez’s entourage to Inter’s headquarters, which many connected to transfer talk, Yaque explained that there was no special reason for it. “It was just a courtesy visit, that is all,” he added.  

Lautaro Martinez enjoyed a breakthrough season during 2019/20, scoring 21 goals in all competitions. He previously joined Inter in 2018, coming from Primera Division side Racing Club.

It turns out that Barcelona hasn’t given up on their pursuit of Argentinian striker Lautaro Martinez. According to ESPN, Barca already agreed to personal terms with Martinez, and now only has to convince Inter Milan to sell.

Martinez was linked with Barcelona for the past few months, but the Spanish club couldn’t make a deal with Inter, and it appeared that the move wouldn’t happen. However, ESPN’s sources claim that Barca continued to talk with the 22-year-old in the meantime and has reached a verbal agreement with the player in recent days.

Barca now has to come up with funds to meet Inter’s high asking price which primarily means moving Philippe Coutinho. While the club is aware that they’ll have to take a big loss on $160 million they paid to Liverpool for Coutinho in 2018, they still hope the Brazilian will still bring a big transfer fee.

The La Liga giants also hope that Inter will be willing to take players as part of the deal, but reportedly that is unlikely to happen.

The list of other players Barca is looking to sell includes back Nelson Semedo and midfielder Ivan Rakitic. They would also like to part ways with Ousmane Dembele, but the Frenchman isn’t likely to attract many offers due to his injury history.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly getting ready to carry over their fight in La Liga to transfer market this summer. According to ESPN, the two Spanish giants will both try to acquire Inter Milan’s striker Lautaro Martinez.

Sources close to the player told the media outlet that Madrid and Barca would engage in competition for Martinez in July in order to try and lure the Argentinian away from Italy. Martinez has a $120 million release clause, which can be activated in July, in his contract, so Inter would be forced to let him go.

Barcelona has been targeting Martinez for some time now, viewing him as an ideal replacement for the aging Luis Suarez. The Catalan club previously didn’t make an offer due to high asking price, but given the player’s good form this season and Barca’s attacking problems, they are now ready to write the big check.

Real Madrid only recently got interested in Lautaro Martinez. The club made a move for a striker in the summer, acquiring Luka Jovic in a pricey move from Bundesliga and thought they were set upfront. However, Jovic turned out to be a flop so far in the season, managing only to score twice despite being given a chance to play often. Bringing in Martinez would definitely help their production and would also take a load off Karim Benzema’s shoulders.

Martinez has been superb for Inter this season, scoring 11 goals in 20 Seria A matches. He also added an impressive five goals in six UEFA Champions League games.
