The captain of Italy's "Inter" team, Lautaro Martinez, is reportedly considering the possibility of continuing his career in the Spanish league. Specifically, the Argentine striker is focused on the "Barcelona" option, as reported by El Nacional.
According to the source, Martinez envisions himself as the long-term replacement for Barcelona's experienced forward Robert Lewandowski. Notably, the Polish striker's current contract with Barcelona is set to expire on June 30, 2026, and the club management might not renew the deal with the 37-year-old player.
This season, Lewandowski has played 16 matches in all competitions, scoring 8 goals and delivering 1 assist. However, factors such as age and the club's future-oriented plans reportedly compel them to search for a new leading striker to replace him.
Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez is currently in excellent form. The "Inter" leader has participated in 19 games this season, scoring 11 goals and providing 2 assists, becoming a crucial pillar for his team. His performances have attracted the attention of not only clubs in Italy but also several European football giants.
Additionally, Martinez's contract with the Milan-based club remains valid until the summer of 2029, which suggests that potential transfer negotiations may not proceed easily. According to Transfermarkt, the market value of the Argentine striker is estimated at approximately €85 million.
Experts believe that if "Barcelona" truly intends to bring Lautaro into their squad, the club will need to make significant financial and strategic decisions. Fans are hoping that this potential transfer could breathe new life into Barcelona's attack.
