Inter have reportedly rejected Barcelona's first bid of €70m plus Arturo Vidal and Nelson Semedo for the Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez.
La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolò Schira has reported that President Josep Maria Bartomeu has put Lautaro at the top of his wish list ahead of the transfer market this summer and was willing to part ways with two of his current players.
Lautaro has been linked with a move to Barcelona after stepping up his performances at San Siro this term and the reports in Italy have previously revealed a buy-out clause of €111m in his current deal.
But Schira reports that the Blaugrana were looking to find a solution to part with a lower fee and add Vidal and Semedo in a possible deal, only for the Nerazzurri to ask for the full amount in cash.
The Chilean midfielder Vidal has been targeted by coach Antonio Conte as an ideal addition to his current squad and the Blaugrana hoped Portuguese defender Semedo could be added to pivot the deal towards the required value.
The report claims that Barcelona are preparing a contract worth €10m a year for Lautaro, but will have to pay the full amount to release him from his current deal at Inter.
