Lautaro Martinez’s agent hints at Barcelona move

Lautaro Martinez’s agent says he has had no talks with Europe’s biggest sides about a transfer, though conceded the Inter Milan star would relish the opportunity to play with Lionel Messi.

Lautaro’s form for the Italian club has seen him linked to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea, with the Argentine forward having scored 16 goals in 31 games across all competitions.




Indeed, according to reports the Catalans plan to offer the Inter Milan striker a deal worth €10m-a-year as they seek a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.

And his list of admirers includes Messi, who called the 22-year-old “spectacular”, while Suarez himself has talked up his possible arrival at Camp Nou.

Lautaro Martinez’s agent, Alberto Yaque, admitted that linking up with Lionel Messi on a regular basis is something any player would ever want.




“Who wouldn’t like to play with Messi?” Yaque told Planeta 947. “Speaking of the games they played in the national team, he said it was a dream. Imagine, to play so young for Argentina and with Messi.

“But he doesn’t say much about this. He’s a very reserved boy. If we asked him where he wants to play, he wouldn’t tell us anything.

“It would not be unreasonable for the greats to love him, but today there is nothing official.”

Lautaro is under contract with Inter Milan until 2023 but Yaque is getting calls from journalists around Europe about his client’s future.

“There are all these rumours that come out of the press,” he added.




“They call me from Madrid, from Barcelona, from England, because they say that Real, that Barcelona, that Chelsea want him, but I would be lying to you right now if I told you there is something.

“I don’t know [about] between clubs, but for us there is nothing.”

Despite the frequent transfer links suggesting Lautaro is ready to leave Inter, vice-president Javier Zanetti has conceded that he is confident the club’s star will stay put.

He told ESPN: “At Inter I see him happy, he identifies with the club. We believed in him. I see his future at Inter.”
