There promises to be two transfer stories involving Argentina strikers that will dominate this site and every other site that covers Inter this summer.

One is where former captain Mauro Icardi will go and whether he will return to Italy to play for bitter rivals Juventus. The other involves Inter star Lautaro Martinez, whose agent says that talks have already began with other clubs about the future of his client amid interest from La Liga sides Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The 22-year-old centre forward has come of age this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions while forming the best attacking partnership in Serie A with Romelu Lukaku.

Lautaro’s fast development has attracted interest from Europe’s biggest clubs and the player’s representative Beto Yaque has revealed discussions are ongoing about his future.

“It is said that Barcelona and Real Madrid want him, but it has no effect on him,” Yaque said about Lautaro to Radio La Plata.

“Others players would not sleep at night.

“He never calls me to ask if the rumours are true or false, he is focused on the present and his work.

“We talked to many people, however, nothing more happened. For now, those who call me are not club leaders. There is nothing formal or serious.

“It is a dream [for Martinez] to be one of the most coveted players on the market. But nothing special is happening to him. The only thing he wants is to play and score.

“His constant growth has meant that the best teams in the world watch him carefully. We hope that his work will be rewarded as it deserves.”

According to media reports, Lautaro Martinez has a €111 million release clause for foreign clubs, which is valid only during July 1-15 each year.

Not even however thinks that Lautaro would be a good signing by Barca. Barcelona legend Rivaldo believes his former club should focus on ready-made players, as the Argentina international still needs to develop.

“I think that [Lautaro] needs to keep developing and gaining experience,” Rivaldo told Betfair.

“He’s already a valuable player for Inter, and could become a top player in the future, but he’s not ready for Barca.”
