Goodbye Julian Alvarez, hello Lautaro Martinez. In recent days, FC Barcelona has changed its priority target for the number 9 position. Despite all-terrain pressure around the Atético de Madrid player, and the desire of the person concerned to join Catalonia, the capital club held firm. He will not sell it to a direct competitor in La Liga, regardless of the offer.whether it is 100, 150 or 200», declared Gil Marín.
The management remained straight in its boots. She even accepted an offer from Arsenal, which the player refused. Faced with its inability to move the lines in this matter, Barça turned to another Argentinian. Head to Inter where the Lautaro Martinez track has gained momentum in recent hours. He has become the club’s number 1 objective for the end of the transfer window, even if Deco and his team are aware that completing such a file already promises to be complicated, especially at the end of August.
Barça and Martinez’s entourage agree
All the more difficult as Inter have no intention of selling their captain, the man who embodies their project for the coming season, his 9th at the club. Under contract until 2029, the attacker is considered non-transferable by his management, said yesterday Sky Italia. Nothing to discourage Barça either. According to El Chiringuitoa meeting between Deco, his deputy Bojan Krkic and the player’s representatives took place in recent days in Madrid.
Better yet, it resulted in an agreement between the two parties on the contours of a future contract. The hardest part remains to be done, to convince the Nerazzurri who are not sellers. Still according to the famous Spanish show, a first offer is in preparation. It should not exceed €100 million but would be high enough to leave an open door and allow negotiations to continue. This file should liven up the last days of the summer transfer window.
