Inter Milan legend Javier Zanetti is hopeful that Lautaro Martinez will remain with the Nerazzurri for ‘a long time’ amidst interest from Barcelona in signing him.
The Argentina international has been regularly linked with a move to the Camp Nou over the past year with the Blaugrana said to be eyeing a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.
The Spanish champions have yet to make a formal approach for the 22-year-old but it has recently been claimed that they have already agreed personal terms with the forward.
In a recent interview with Sky Italia (h/t Standard Sport), Zanetti said that he is pleased over the club’s decision to sign the striker in 2018 after monitoring his performances over a period of time.
