Barcelona and City's interest in Lautaro Martinez force Inter to react

Lautaro Martinez had already made headlines thanks to his goalscoring ability, but since his outstanding match against Barcelona in the Camp Nou, more teams have started to take notice despite it not being enough to get his team through. 

What will become of a '9' that many of the continent's greats are keeping tabs on? Barça's name does not cease to be associated with the young attacker, but Manchester City's interest has also gained strength in recent hours. And that has led Inter to react. 

Because it would not be easy to get him out of Milan, although some already see the leak in his contract of 111 million euros as an amount they can face. For 15 days in July, the club would be defenceless if a team offers the required amount because of a clause in his contract.

Sources in Italy that Inter have now met with Martinez' representatives in Milan to make him an offer. 

Despite Marotta's last words, the intention of the Lombard team is to improve Lautaro's contract so they can make sure no one will poach him away. The player's agents have reportedly asked Inter to double his current record of two million euros, but the club are not prepared to do so at the time.

But the 'Nerazzurri' know that they have to raise his salary if they want to make sure the Argentine star does not leave. 

Meanwhile, officials at Barcelona know that his transfer will be very difficult to achieve, but they are not ruling out negotiation, and Manchester City find themselves in the same situation.
