It was one of the great objectives, Barcelona came to be very close, but Lautaro moves away almost irrevocably from Barcelona. At least in the near future. The Argentine forward of Inter was in the first line of candidates to reinforce the attack of Barcelona. The player saw it with good eyes and it was the bet, but the economic crisis that the Catalan club is experiencing made the investment prohibitive. First the clause of 111 million euros and then the high claims of Inter, made Barcelona unable to carry out, at first, an operation that it would have liked.
Now, Lautaro continues taking giant steps in the opposite direction to Barcelona. The forward ends his contract in 2023, but has just confirmed that he is one step away from renewing with Inter. “My agent and the club are working behind the scenes and I remain calm. I'm just thinking of giving my all for Inter and waiting for an agreement to be reached for my renewal, ”said the player at Gazzetta dello Sport.
During the interview, Lautaro suggests that at Inter he feels in a position to fight for all the titles in Italy. Barcelona has come to have a total agreement with the player, but he lacked it with Inter, now he sees how his option continues to move away. Meanwhile, his agents have spoken with Jorge Mendes to help them with the future and to be able to get a move from Inter if necessary.
