SportItalia reports Inter are not prepared to sell Argentina international Lautaro Martinez this summer, despite reports claiming Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a fee with the Nerazzurri.
Spurs have, according to the Times, reached an agreement with Inter over a deal worth £60m, but SportItalia denies Inter are ready to sell the star striker.
Romelu Lukaku seems set for a move to Chelsea for €115m and the Tottenham sporting director Fabio Paratici has reportedly made a move for Lautaro.
The British newspaper claims Spurs are offering a total of £76.8m including bonuses and have thus reached an agreement with the Beneamata.
But SportItalia claims the player ‘is not for sale’, amid the reported offers from Premier League clubs like Tottenham and Arsenal.
The Italian broadcaster claims Inter are not prepared to let Martinez leave San Siro this summer, as Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku should be the only two big-money departures ahead of 2021-22.

That’s ok, they don’t have to sell him this summer. We can take him out an a loan to buy deal I’m not fussed.
At this point I don’t believe inter, they can come and play the martinez wanted the move card as with lukaku
Been a stout fan and loyal lover of the Italian professional league and it’s national team. I must admit that every institution particularly the football sector has both a rich social, political , cultural and economical significance and it’s finances stood head tall amidst the others. That’s why the fans need to get rational and sane rather than nostalgic and sentimental about the future of a profound sector of the Italian nation. Money and profits comes first to the human race especially with so many foreign investors! Why do they invest in the first place? To loose or profits? If these scenarios would be stopped from repeating itself, then the Italian parliament should make it easy for fans to own stakes and contribute to the decision making in the club. Like the German clubs are run. That’s why Bayern Munich wouldn’t sell it’s biggest players for any amount.
