'Lautaro is not for sale' - Inter sporting director insists Barca must pay €111m clause to sign striker

Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has insisted that star forward Lautaro Martinez is not for sale and that Barcelona must pay the Argentine's €111 million (£97m/$121m) release clause if they wish to sign him.

Goal has reported that the Catalans have made the forward their top transfer target, and are prepared to offer a contract worth €10m (£9m/$11m) per year to land the 22-year-old.

Lautaro is currently available for €111 million (£97m$121m), with that release clause set to expire on July 15.
