Barcelona ready to offer €60m plus two players to sign Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez

Barcelona have reportedly made Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez their prime target this summer. With Luis Suarez being on the wrong side of 30 and the club planning to sell Ousmane Dembele, Barcelona will be left with few options up front. Barcelona are reportedly targetting Lautaro Martinez as their first choice, with Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seen as a backup option. While clubs across Europe are aware that striking deals with other clubs post the pandemic will be a tough ask, given the financial losses accrued across the board, Barcelona appear to have inched closer towards finalising a deal for Lautaro Martinez.
