Inter still confident of keeping Lautaro Martinez away from Barcelona

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is continuing to play down reports that Lautaro Martinez will leave the club and join Barcelona in the summer.

The Catalan giants remain linked with the Argentine, with the latest reports suggesting they could pay €70 million plus Junior Firpo for the striker.

Yet Marotta insists that he’s not interested in the speculation and reiterated once again that Lautaro has not asked to leave.

“The rumours about Barça get lost in the void. What’s important are the facts. And it’s a fact that Lautaro is our player and that he’s never expressed a desire to leave,” insisted Marotta.
