Martinez, Lautaro
– Inter Milan
+ FC Barcelona
After FC Barcelona was unable to realize the transfer of Atletico striker Julian Alvarez (26) in the summer despite several attempts, interest in Inter captain Lautaro Martinez arose at the same time. However, the 2022 Argentine World Cup winner was not available, as FCB sporting director Deco told Sky Sport Italia. “As soon as the club told us that it was not for sale, we didn’t discuss it any further,” the ex-professional revealed. “We attach great importance to fairness and transparency. Although there is sometimes speculation in the media, the clubs know how things really went. We respected that and broke off the negotiations. We didn’t contact the player or his agent.”
