Inter striker Lautaro Martinez remains linked to clubs in England and Spain and the club has set an asking price for their goal machine. Martinez has been the subject of interest among many clubs in Europe with the striker delivering goals every season. Martinez became very popular when Antonio Conte was in charge at Inter, forming a wonderful partnership with Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku that won the Serie A title.
Martinez has been linked to clubs in Spain and England and this has caused the Inter hierarchy to set a tag on the striker to either ward off clubs or meet with those who can afford the fee. Real Madrid are distant admirers of Martinez and they see him as a player they can sign in the near future. Sevilla are also interested in the Argentina international but the £60m tag on him is considered too high.
The board is contemplating selling Jules Kounde in order to fund a move for Martinez this summer. Sevilla are confident of selling Kounde for as high as £65m and they remain focused on signing Martinez in the summer. Both teams are monitoring the situation closely and are hopeful of luring Martinez over to their side in what could be a big transfer battle.
Tottenham made contact with Martinez last season when Harry Kane was linked to a Manchester City move. Spurs are reportedly in direct contact with Martinez and are also considering a move for the Argentine. West Ham and Chelsea are also weighing up the situation around Martinez and could launch bids later in the summer.
Martinez has scored 19 Serie A goals this season in 33 appearances. He scored once in eight UEFA Champions League appearances, which came against Liverpool in the Round of 16. He scored twice in 5 appearances in the Coppa Italia and has totaled 22 goals in 46 matches this season. Martinez has been prolific in goalscoring in recent years and has been attracting interest from other Europan elites.
Inter will accept no less than £65m for Martinez and expect bids to come forward at the end of the season. Martinez is fully committed to Inter and he has debunked any rumours about him leaving the club anytime soon.
