During the first fifteen days of July, the cancellation clause of Lautaro Martínez, striker of Inter Milan that Barcelona is seeking, is set at 111 million euros. As of today, this operation is the one marked as priority by the club's technical secretariat Blaugrana who sees in Argentina the ideal replacement for Suarez. A money that Barça hopes can be reduced.
The fundamental problem that arises in this situation is clearly the economic one because although his hiring is a cheaper operation than the one that could affect Neymar (which would be around 180 million) the financial moment of the club is not that it is especially good, much less after the crisis that is expected due to the Coronavirus that will force to reformulate the entity's accounts.
According to Barça technicians, this is a crisis that will affect The world of soccer, which until now lived in an inflation bubble that “obligatorily”, according to club sources, must be lowered.
Therefore, in the Blaugrana club they trust that the price of those 111 million can be lowered although the club has already been studying formulas for lighten the cost of this hypothetical operation by trying to include players as would be the case of Arturo Vidal in it.
Barça have been intensively following Lautaro Martínez in person for some time, both in the games he plays with Inter and in those he plays with the Argentine team. Now the problem is how to pay for the operation waiting for a discount.
