There are tons of rumours on Lautaro Martinez signing for Barca even though the footballer is trying to dismiss them. According to 'TMW', Inter are going to meet with the Argentine's team in the coming days to offer him a new contract.

Barcelona have been searching for a replacement for Luis Suarez for a long time. 'Mundo Deportivo', says that he is in the best position to move to the Camp Nou.

The striker is very, very important for Inter Milan and Argentina so they do not want him to leave soon and if he does, it would have to be for a lot of money. In order to make sure he stays, the Inter board are taking steps to give him a new contract.

Inter's desire has always been to renew Lautaro and this option seems to be the one which is taking shape. 'TMW' says that the 22 year-old's agents have got a trip to Milan planned in December to sit down and negotiate a new contract for Lautaro.

The intention of Inter Milan is to extend the deal with the player until 2023 and either increase his buyout clause to 111 million euros or get rid of it completely. Job laws in Italy allow that.

This is Inter Milan's strategy to make sure their main man stays amid strong interest from Barcelona who want him to take over from Suarez.
