Inter hitman Lautaro Martinez is “the ideal striker for the way Barcelona play their football,” said Juan Antonio Pizzi.
The reports of a summer transfer to Camp Nou continue to circulate, as the Blaugrana have not disguised their interest in the Argentina international.
Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United are also linked, but Barcelona are by far the favourites with the €111m release clause in play too.

“Lautaro Martinez more than Kun Aguero is the prototype of the new forward that would fit Barca,” former centre-forward and coach Pizzi told EFE.
“He already proved what he can do with Argentina, with Racing and Inter. He seems the ideal striker for the way Barcelona play their football.
“Even in one of the toughest leagues in the world, in Italy, he has still been able to play at a very high level.”
The 22-year-old scored 16 goals with four assists in 31 competitive games for Inter this season.
