According to Argentine journalist Gaston Idol, Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez will stay at Inter Milan and sees no possibility of moving to Barcelona this summer. Barcelona wanted to sign the Nerazzurri captain in case they failed to bring Argentine striker Julian Alvarez to Camp Nou, and Barcelona made an offer to Utraro a few days ago.

There was no agreement between Barcelona and Inter Milan for Lautaro

Barcelona have expressed interest in the Argentine forward, but neither Inter nor the player have yet reached any form of understanding. The Nerazzurri still view their captain as a central figure in their project moving forward.

Inter head coach Cristian Chivu has also reiterated his wish to retain Martínez, stating: “We want to keep Lautaro with us. He is our captain.”

Barcelona are still looking for a striker

Today it was confirmed that Julian Álvarez will never come to Barcelona. Atlético Madrid has definitively closed the door on the Argentine striker's transfer to Barcelona, ​​despite Barcelona's attempts to explore every possible avenue. The Madrid club rejected the idea outright and even agreed to the player's transfer to Arsenal, refusing to let him join Barcelona.

Now that Inter Milan have refused to let their captain leave, it seems that Barcelona's continued search for a striker is inevitable even in the upcoming winter transfer window, as Hansi Flick has made his final decision that he needs a true striker.
