‘Lautaro must remain in Italy’ – Sneijder tells Inter ace to reject Barcelona’s approaches

Lautaro Martinez should forget a summer move and concentrate instead on being successful with Inter, former Nerazzurri midfielder Wesley Sneijder has said.

The 22-year-old Argentine has been closely linked with a summer move to Barcelona, where Lionel Messi is reportedly a strong advocate for his arrival.

But Sneijder, who turned out for Ajax, Real Madrid, Galatasaray, Nice and Al-Gharafa during a 17-year playing career, says that the time remains too soon for a young forward who has scored 12 times and set up three more in 22 Serie A outings this season.
