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.

It appears that Lionel Messi would be pleased to see his Argentina national teammate Lautaro Martinez join him in Barcelona. Messi recently praised Martinez in an interview with Mundo Deportivo, calling Inter Milan’s star a “complete forward.”

Martinez has been linked with a move to Barca for months now, but the club currently doesn’t have funds to pay his $110 million release clause. La Liga giants are instead hoping to convince Inter to either drop their asking price or to accept money and one or two players in exchange.

Asked about Martinez rumors by Mundo Deportivo, Messi spoke highly of the 22-year-old and even compared him to Luis Suarez.

“He’s strong, he’s a good dribbler, he scores goals and he knows how to protect the ball,” said Messi. “He has a lot of similarities with Suarez. They both use their bodies well and hold the ball up.”

Messi, however, doesn’t have any inside info on whether Martinez is on his way to La Liga.

“We will have to see what happens with [Martinez] and the other names that have been linked,” he added. “If I am honest, I don’t know if there are talks underway to sign him or not. I have no idea.

Lautaro Martinez joined Inter Milan in 2018 from Argentina side Velez. After a solid first year in Italy, he is having a breakthrough season in 2019/20, forming a lethal partnership with Romelu Lukaku.

Before the Seria A decided to suspend its competition due to coronavirus, Martinez had 11 goals and three assists this season. He also added five goals in other competitions.

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the 2020 soccer summer transfer window. With the coronavirus outbreak currently affecting all soccer leagues around the world, no one is sure when the competitions will return or when the transfer window will open up.

With that being said, there will surely be some transfer window for clubs and players to make changes this summer, and we expect that plenty of big names will be on the move.

Let’s take a look at the three biggest transfers that we expect to happen this summer in the world of soccer.

Lautaro Martinez to FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona is looking for a striker heading into the 2020-21 season, with the health and productivity of long-time striker Luis Suarez being a major question.

Rumors have recently linked the Catalan club to the young Inter Milan striker, and we think they’ll empty their pockets to acquire the Argentinian this summer. Martinez has scored 16 goals in 31 games for Inter Milan this season at the ripe age of 22. He would be the perfect addition to Quique Setien’s Barcelona and serve as a goal-scoring machine.

Jadon Sancho to Manchester United

Borussia Dortmund has already begun to assume that their biggest star will leave for a big transfer fee this summer. Sancho, the 20-year-old right-winger who is arguably the game’s best young player, is being sought by many teams.

After a few rough seasons and with the amount of money that they have, this would be the perfect opportunity for Manchester United to add the premier player that they are lacking. He certainly won’t be cheap, but 17 goals and 19 assists at the age of 20 speak to Sancho’s enormous talent. It would be money well-spent.

Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe’s time in the French capital might be running out, and Real Madrid looks like a top candidate to sign the young French forward. Mbappe has long been a favorite of French coach Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid’s president Florentino Perez, and they could launch an all-out attack to sign the 21-year-old this summer.

30 goals, 17 assists, and 33 games tell all you need to know about the stunning French forward. With players like Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz failing to impress, and Karim Benzeman getting up there in age, Mbappe would be a player that could take Real Madrid back to competing for Champions League titles.

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.

Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez brought significant attention to himself in recent weeks after a stellar performance at this year’s Copa America with Argentina national team. Several high-profile European clubs took an interest in Martinez, with La Liga giants’ Barcelona reportedly thinking about triggering his $126 million release clause.

It seems like this news are not just pure speculation, as Martinez’s agent Alberto Yaque decided to confirm Barcelona’s interest in his client in a recent interview.

“Talk of Barcelona’s interest is true,” – said Yaque. “No-one’s called us, but we know that they’ve been looking at him strongly. It’s true that Barcelona like him.”

While Inter would be reluctant to sell Martinez, considering they just brought him from Racing Club last year, their hands would be tied if Barca is willing to pay the release clause. However, Spanish club isn’t expected to make a move until they sort out the Antoine Griezmann and Matthijs de Ligt transfers. They are also considering a move for PSG’s Neymar, so Martinez might be a backup option for them if they miss out on the Brazilian.

Since joining Inter in the summer of 2018, Lautaro Martinez played a total of 30 goals in all competitions with the club, scoring seven goals and providing two assists. Martinez also made 11 appearances for Argentina national team, scoring on six occasions.
