Barcelona ‘working flat out’ on Lautaro Martinez transfer

Barcelona is reportedly putting in maximum effort to secure Lautaro Martinez as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Italy-based reports suggest Inter Milan has no plans to sell their Argentine forward during the summer transfer window. However, Barcelona is reportedly actively pursuing the player, with Inter expected to engage in negotiations, and a deal could be finalized soon.

Jose Alvarez of El Chiringuito claimed Barcelona is "working flat out" on the transfer, discussing both the player and his representatives.

Lautaro has previously expressed a desire to continue his career at Inter, making his potential departure even more unlikely.
