What player would Inter ask Barcelona to release Lautaro Martínez

While European football is suspended due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus, and there is still no date for the restart of competitions (in the various leagues, the month of May is spoken of as a possibility), Barcelona continues to think about strengthening the team for next season, in pursuit of retaining Lionel Messi (his bond expires in June 2021) and ushering in a new era of gold. Behind that goal, according to Sports world, has a name in the folder that at this point represents an obsession: Lautaro Martinez, who this season accumulates 16 goals in 30 games.

Although Javier Zanetti, vice president of the Inter de Milan, declared in the last hours that "I see Lautaro very happy with us and we are very happy with him. The thing about Lautaro in Inter is fantastic and also what he is doing in the Argentine team; I see him at least another year at the club ”, the Neroazzurro knows that the possibility mobilizes the former Racing striker, 22 years old. Its exit clause amounts to 111 million euros. Faced with such a figure, the solution would be a swap. And there is a footballer in the Blaugrana squad that attracts the leadership of the Italian institution.

It's about French Ousmane Dembelé. The 22-year-old attacker did not finish exploiting at the Barcelona club, which bought his chip for 145 million euros from Borussia Dortmund, to replace Neymar, who left for PSG. But it cost him the adaptation and he was chased by injuries, beyond some flashes in which he could weigh his speed and capacity for imbalance.

Dembelé could be an interesting partner for Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian gunner who is in a state of grace with the Argentine as a companion: he has 21 conquests in 30 participations. As an alternative, if the French operation is not viable, Barcelona could include Philippe Coutinho in the negotiation. The Brazilian attacking midfielder, on loan today at Bayern Munich. Barça acquired it for 125 million euros, but it also failed to assert its talent with the Blaugrana jersey. Today Chelsea also wants it, to green the version that shone in Liverpool.

"It is spectacular, it has impressive conditions, you could see that he was going to be a great player, now he exploded and is showing it. He is very strong, he has a very good one against one, he has a lot of goals, in the area he fights with anyone, he can stand it, he turns, he rummages for himself. It has a lot of quality. It is very complete, ”Messi was able to praise Lautaro, with whom he shared a team with the Argentine national team. Will it repeat in Barcelona?
