Barcelona is intensifying its search for attacking options ahead of next season after Robert Lewandowski’s departure and difficulties in signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan has reappeared as a potential target, despite Barcelona previously failing to complete a deal for him due to sporting and financial constraints. Inter president and CEO Giuseppe Marotta stated there is no truth to rumors of a Lautaro transfer to Barcelona and insisted Lautaro will remain at Inter next season. Inter has no intention of selling him during the summer window, and Lautaro’s own intention is to stay. Barcelona is also monitoring other options such as Joao Pedro and Victor Osimhen.
"“There is no truth to the rumours of a Lautaro transfer to Barcelona.” The Inter Milan chief insisted that the Argentine international will continue being part of the Nerazzurri squad next season. Despite the constant speculation surrounding Lautaro's future, Marotta made it clear that Inter have no intention of selling the Argentine striker during the summer transfer window."
"However, Lautaro has become one of Inter Milan's biggest symbols, and a transfer does not appear easy. After winning both the league and cup titles, Inter president and CEO Giuseppe Marotta took the opportunity to clarify the situation surrounding the striker's future. According to comments reported by 365scores (h/t SPORT), Marotta was very direct and stated: “There is no truth to the rumours of a Lautaro transfer to Barcelona.”"
"He also added that, according to Lautaro himself, the player's intention is to remain at the club and not consider potential offers from other teams. What are Barcelona's other options? With a move for both Alvarez and Lautaro looking unlikely, Barcelona are keeping an eye on several other potential alternatives."
