"Lautaro's not leaving Inter for the money because they have that in China, he's going for Messi"
Felipe Melo already sees the Argentine at Barcelona. "I'm very curious to see how he'll play at Barcelona," he said on 'Olé'.
Lautaro Martinez's future seems like it will be at Barcelona from next season. The Argentine star will leave Inter for the Camp Nou to play with Messi.
That is what Felipe Melo thinks, who suggested on 'Olé' that it's not a matter of money: "It's hard for him to stay at Inter, but not for money, since they have that in China. It is difficult because at Barcelona there is Messi. And people love to play with Messi".
"If Juve call me to play with Ronaldo, I'll return. De Ligt was wanted by Barcelona, but Ronaldo called him and he's at Juve at 20 years old...", recalled Felipe Melo, who also praised the Portuguese star.
The Brazilian midfielder spoke about Lautaro: "I know him well. He's a player who works a lot with and without the ball, steals, fights and scores a lot of goals. He reminds me a lot of Gabriel Jesus. For me, he is the future number one striker in football. I'd like to see him at Barca".
Finally, he wonders how Barcelona would play if, in addition to Lautaro, they also managed to sign Neymar. He offered to kick in the midfield: "Imagine bringing Lautaro together with Suarez, Messi, and Neymar. They would be practically unstoppable. It would take five Felipe Melos on the pitch to stop them kicking up a storm. And a favourable referee, of course...".
