Spanish daily AS report that Barcelona directors were so impressed with Inter striker Lautaro Martinez’s performance last night that they are ready to activate his €111m buyout clause.
Martinez failed to score against the Blaugrana, but was a constant thorn in their side as Inter battled to remain in the Champions League, but did score in the first game between the pair in October.
He provided the assist for Romelu Lukaku's temporary equaliser at San Siro.
Spanish daily AS report that Barcelona directors were so impressed with Inter striker Lautaro Martinez’s performance last night that they are ready to activate his €111m buyout clause.
Martinez failed to score against the Blaugrana, but was a constant thorn in their side as Inter battled to remain in the Champions League, but did score in the first game between the pair in October.
He provided the assist for Romelu Lukaku's temporary equaliser at San Siro.
The Argentine forward has a release clause of €111m, however it is only active for the first two weeks of July, similar to the clause former striker Mauro Icardi had in his contract.
Inter are reportedly working on renewing Martinez’s contract, hoping to remove the clause entirely.
Barca see the forward as the ideal replacement for Luis Suarez, who is 33 years old and has only 18 months left on his current deal with the club.
Martinez has scored 13 goals in all competitions for the Nerazzurri this season.
