Agent Alejandro Camano admits Inter want to keep hold of Lautaro Martinez, but Achraf Hakimi is ‘the only one who could leave now.’
Camano spoke to Como Te Va on Radio Colonia in Argentina and represents both the Nerazzurri players who are attracting a lot of attention during the summer.
“Balance sheets rule the world, so if Inter were to lose Lautaro, it wouldn’t be for cheap,” said Camano.
“The only one who could leave Inter now is Hakimi, and I represent him too.”
Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are in a bidding war for right-back Hakimi, with €60m offers rejected, as Inter are asking for at least €80m.
With the need to raise funds and balance the books, they are also refusing to accept player exchanges as part of the deal.
“We have to work on the Lautaro issue, as the situation is still not clear,” continued Camano.
“What were normal price-tags two years ago for transfers now seem to have lost their value after the pandemic. There is nothing concrete with regards to Lautaro. Inter have a very strong position with the player and they don’t want to let him go.
“We also need to see what it is that Lautaro wants, as he is 23 years old and his opinion is very important here. I think he can become one of the greatest players in Europe and the world.”
Lautaro Martinez is under contract to June 2023, but has not yet signed a new deal and his representative also claimed last week that he was in absolutely no rush to commit himself to Inter.
